Pair's 'festering' feud turned violent during city centre encounter

MAN DEMANDED £400 'OWED'

- By MARK NAYLOR

A LONG-running and “festering” feud between two men suddenly turned violent when one of them angrily demanded to be given £400 he claimed was owed to him.

Francois Muyololo aggressively confronted the other man during a chance meeting in the street and he punched him and threw him to the ground. There had been “considerable tension” between them but the other man was “no wallflower” and he had made threats, Hull Crown Court heard.

Muyololo, 21, of College Grove, off Preston Road, east Hull, admitted attempted robbery and assaulting a police officer as an emergency worker on July 2 last year.

Amber Hobson, prosecuting, said Muyololo and another man were, seemingly by chance, walking towards each other on Ferensway outside Hull railway station at 12.26pm. Muyololo approached the other man and demanded £400 from him.
