This is the first picture of the knife prosecutors say was used to murder Leonid Laboshin.

The Russian national was stabbed to death in the kitchen at the home he shared with his killer, Eugen Coman, on October 17, 2021.

Jurors at Oxford Crown Court heard that, 10 days before the alleged murder, Coman had ordered two kitchen knives online.

It is said that one of the knives, made by Royal VKB, was used to kill Mr Laboshin – who was stabbed 27 times and whose body was placed in a knotted sheet and dragged into the garden, where it was found by police officers.

He told the jury they would hear ‘agreed facts’ that blood on the weapon matched the victim’s DNA.

The blood appeared to have been diluted, suggesting the knife had been washed.

Coman, of Pinnocks Way, Botley, denies murder. He has admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

The trial, which will resume on Friday, continues.
