Two men who stabbed footballer Cody Fisher to death on the dancefloor of a nightclub in a Boxing Day knife attack have been jailed for life.
Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter were jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for life with a minimum term of 26 and 25 years respectively for the murder.
Mr Fisher, 23, died after being stabbed inside Crane nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, just before midnight on Boxing Day 2022.
The attack occurred after one of his killers found him on Snapchat and vowed 'revenge' for accidentally touching him on the back during a night out two days earlier.
Video released by police from the night shows the footballer dancing in a group including his girlfriend Jess Chatwin and best friend Dan Vann before he was ambushed by 10 masked men.
