The jury in the trial of a man accused of murdering teenage Harry Potter film actor Rob Knox has retired to consider its verdict.

Karl Bishop, 21, is accused of stabbing the 18-year-old five times outside the Metro bar in Sidcup, south-east London, last year, "out of revenge".

The Old Bailey heard Mr Bishop claim he was attacked by Mr Knox and acted in self-defence.

Mr Bishop, from Carlton Road, Sidcup, denies murdering Mr Knox last May.

Mr Knox, from Swanley, Kent, had a part in the next Harry Potter film.

Mr Bishop, from Sidcup, also denies five charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
