Recent Cases

  • R v CW 2010 Kyri's client was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, however Kyri successfully applied for the case to be dismissed against his client following legal argument on both law and fact.
  • R v KK 2010 The defendant Mr K was accused of dangerous driving and was also alleged to have made threatening signs to police suggesting he was in possession of a firearm. 5 officers were called to give evidence as to these facts as well as the firearms officers called to the scene. K's defence was "fit-up". He alleged that all 5 officers had lied in order to cover-up the fact that they had, quite brutally, beaten him up thinking perhaps the car he drove was stolen. A submission of no case to answer was (perhaps unusually) made. It was upheld and the client was acquitted.
  • R v CB 2010 Kyri acted for the defendant who, on his own admission had placed the body of his lover (who he met on the Gumtree internet site) in a suitcase in his garage before dumping it on waste ground days later. The case involved not only cell site but Oyster card evidence as well as expert evidence concerning the decomposition of bodies and maggot infestation (further reading: Chambers News).
  • R v C and others 2010 Kyri represented one of 7 defendants who had protested against the Anglian Regiments homecoming parade in Luton. The trial lasting 6 days and involved fundamental and complex issues concerning the right to protest and the right to free speech. Kyri is currently appealing the conviction by way of case stated on behalf of all the defendants (further reading: BBC News).
