1. [2012] 2 WLR 17.
2. The latest case involved a Russian banker being gunned down in a London street. See 'Russian Banker Shot Six Times had Testified over Murder Plot'Telegraph(London), 24 March 2012. These days gang members tend to arm themselves with guns rather than other weapons, so similar cases will occur in the future. In the United States mutual gunfights in public places are not uncommon. SeeState v Spates, 779 NW 2d 770 (2010) and cases cited within.
3. Bandana Man was also identified as TC, but his real name is not given in the judgment. It appears that even though he was alleged to have perpetrated the murder, he was not charged with any crime.
4. Joint Intention, We-Mode and I-Mode
5. Arguably, a public gunfight will also be ‘mutual’ where D believes that the virtually certain consequence of doing X (voluntarily seeking out an armed rival in a public place) is that it will result in Y (a mutual gunfight with his armed and willing rival).
