Mohammed Azim, a 41-year-old recovery lorry driver, stands accused of murdering his 19-year-old girlfriend, Lily Whitehouse, by trapping her against a lamppost with his van during an argument on his birthday, November 5, 2022. This tragic event unfolded in Oldbury, West Midlands, after Whitehouse had visited her newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit at Russells Hall Hospital. The prosecution claims that Azim drove past her home instead of taking her there, suggesting a possible argument. CCTV footage reportedly shows Azim's van pursuing Whitehouse as she ran away, ultimately leading to a loud bang when the vehicle struck a lamppost, resulting in fatal injuries. Medical examinations revealed severe trauma to Whitehouse's body, including a lacerated liver and broken ribs. Following the incident, Azim allegedly attempted to distance himself from the scene by lifting her into his truck and falsely claiming she was hit by another vehicle. The trial, presided over by Mr. Justice Murray, is expected to last two weeks, with the prosecution asserting that Azim intended to cause serious harm.
