An asylum seeker accused of stabbing a hotel worker to death with a screwdriver was allegedly seen on CCTV shoulder barging into her hours before the attack, a court has heard.

Rhiannon Whyte, 27, who worked at Walsall’s Park Inn hotel, was stabbed to death 23 times on a deserted train platform after finishing her shift in October last year.

Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese asylum seeker who was staying at the hotel, has been accused of murdering her after ‘tracking’ to the nearby Bescot Stadium station following the end of her shift at 11pm.

Footage played in court allegedly shows Majek barging into Ms Whyte as he walked past her and two other colleagues out of the hotel.
