A drug user who was owed £10 for cannabis had a “bad feeling from the start” about going to retrieve the cash.
Thomas Moore, 42, went with his friend Ricky Marshall to retrieve cash he said he was owed by Matthew Constantinou.
Norwich Crown Court heard the pair turned up at Constantinou’s address, a bungalow where he lived with his mother in Antingham Drive, North Walsham, to get the cash back.
He said the defendant “swung” at the victim with his right hand while holding some form of object which struck Mr Moore to the neck.
Mr Marshall called 999 after seeing the state of his friend, who died at the scene shortly after midnight on October 3.
