Jahzeen Carpenter, 40, drove to London a day after her son Kami Carpenter had stabbed Cody Fisher, pictured, to death at the Crane nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, late in the evening on Boxing Day, 2022.

Carpenter arrived in the capital in her Mercedes convertible on the evening of December 27, while her son was found with two suitcases of clothes, West Midlands Police said.

Officers moved in and arrested them both outside flats in the Lewisham area of South East London at around 8.30am on December 28, 2022.

When her white Mercedes convertible was later searched, more than £5,000 in cash was seized.
