Anthony Lentjes wasn’t too concerned when his friend and another man started placing bets over what type of ammunition German soldiers used in their Luger handguns during the second world war.
The 43-year-old stands accused of murdering Scott Bury on King Street in January 2018.
The jury heard today that after meeting at a Cash Converters, the men got into a fight about what kinds of guns Nazis used during World War II.
They went to Mr Bury s home to search for the answer on a computer.
Mr Frank told his associate, shut up, you re a miserable bitch .
The remarks reportedly provoked Mr Bury to pick up two knives and poke Mr Frank in the chest.
