Court shown video of vigilante killer threatening victim

Bristol Crown Court was shown video footage of murderer Lee James bursting into his victim's flat and threatening him.

Prosecution barrister Andrew Langdon QC told the court that Bijan Ebrahimi, who was killed in a vigilante attack, filmed his neighbours from his property because he felt he was being "targeted".

"It is clear he felt under siege and explained himself to the police as filming to gather evidence of the behaviour of his neighbours, which he found objectionable", he added.
