'Jye has obviously taken everything by shock. He's cut off from his family. It's hit him very hard.'

But Mr Keyte said the police allegations against Webb-Italia are 'very murky'.      

'What the police are alleging seems to be very murky,' he said. 

'They're going off CCTV footage and the action what they're describing is a slashing motion.' 

The lawyer confirmed a knife had been found near the scene but said there was no proof that it was the murder weapon.    

'A knife has been found within the vicinity of the deceased, it hasn't been confirmed that it was the murder weapon or even involved in the incident at all,' Mr Keyte said.
