Murder suspect arrested - after falling out of a LOFT
By Tom Bevan
This video captures the moment a murder suspect was arrested - after falling out of a LOFT.
Jake Hill, 25, was caught on police bodyworn footage tumbling to the ground before he was arrested over the murder of Michael Allen, 32.
He is on trial accused of fatally stabbing Mr Allen outside a nightclub during a 'knife rampage' that left another five injured.
He was seen earlier on clips retrieving a hunting knife from the hedges outside the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin, Cornwall, before going up to a group gathered outside.
A trial heard he used it to 'slash and stab' multiple victims with some seen on CCTV falling back after being wounded.
Videos shown to the jury, but not released publicly, then show popular rugby player Michael Allen, 32, collapsing to the floor after being stabbed in the abdomen.
The jury was told he died at the scene from severe internal bleeding.
But Bodmin Crown Court has now been shown footage of Hill being arrested later that day.
The scene begins with armed officers arriving at the address of co-defendant Tia Taylor in Bodmin where a stand-off ensues outside.
But after eventually opening the door and denying that Hill was in her home, one of the children she is holding tells one of the officers he is in the loft.
Footage then shows officers shouting at Hill to come down from the loft before they release its hatch. The defendant is then seen falling through it and being bundled to the floor.
He is then arrested at the time for one murder and two attempted murders and read his rights before being taken away.
Hill, of Bodmin, has denied the murder or manslaughter of Mr Allen and attempting to murder Liam Phillips, Ryan Burger and Ryan Parsons in the early hours of 30 April last year.
Further allegations of GBH by wounding with intent involving victims named as Stefan Williams and Rhiannon Tompsett in relation to the same incident have also been denied.
Tia Taylor, 22, and Chelsea Powell, 22, also from Bodmin, have also gone on trial alongside Hill after pleading not guilty to 'joint enterprise murder' over the death of Mr Allen as well as attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Taylor has since changed her plea to guilty for perverting the course of justice during the trial.
Prosecutor Mark Cotter KC had earlier told the trial: "No witnesses saw any of the injured persons do anything to anyone, let alone Jake Hill, that could explain why Jake Hill stabbed them.
"The initial burst of knife violence culminated in a struggle that took place between Jake Hill and Michael Allen
"Michael Allen also separated some of the parties. He was unarmed. He confronted and struggled with Jake Hill and was simultaneously assaulted by Tia Taylor and Chelsea Powell.
"During that encounter Michael Allen was stabbed by Jake Hill in the abdomen.
"The prosecution case is that Jake Hill, having seen the disorder, became angry and violent.
"One witness who saw some of the stabbings and the aftermath described him as being on a 'knife rampage'
"The prosecution alleges Jake Hill deliberately stabbed and slashed individuals within the group and caused the various wounds."
The trial continues.

Who's in the wrong? Standoff between lorry driver and cyclist
By Samuel Wightwick
A lorry driver and a cyclist came face-to-face down a country lane with neither unable to go through - and a row breaking out.
The motorist who wished to remain anonymous filmed the footage of her coming to loggerheads with a cyclist in Hampshire.
The video shows the lorry driver asking the cyclist to reverse and "go back to the wide bit" as it would be easier than reversing a 60ft-long lorry.
The cyclist refuses and insists that lorries shouldn't be using country lanes.
The lorry driver can be heard saying: "You think it's easier for me to reverse? I'm 60ft long and the same width as this road.
"As you can see by the fact that I'm in the hedge both sides."
The cyclist responds by asking why should she be the one to go back before adding that the driver "shouldn't be down here anyway."
The lady on the pushbike eventually went back to allow the lorry to drive through.
Since being posted on TikTok, the video has provoked debate with some people saying the lorry is in the wrong.
One comment said: "The cyclist has right of way, sorry I am a class one driver too"
Another read: "You shouldn't be driving down a narrow country road in a 60ft lorry, simple."
However, others believed the cyclist should have simply reversed.
One person wrote: "I'm shocked people are saying the lorry shouldn't be there."
Another said: "People forget, the driver doesn't pick the destination and therefore has no choice in access route."

Auction house selling handwritten letters from King Charles - to Jimmy Savile
By Josie Adnitt
An auction house is selling handwritten letters and telegrams from King Charles - to Jimmy Savile.
RR Auction, based in the US, has nine items available said to be from the disgraced comedian's collection.
The lot also includes an invitation from Princess Diana, pictures of Diana and Charles together and letters from Margaret Thatcher - all attributed to Savile.
And one telegram - containing a birthday message - is even signed by princes William and Harry.
Savile was of one of Britain's most beloved entertainers in his lifetime. He was outed after his death as a predatory sex offender.
The collection was found by a disgruntled Brit, who said: “It just really freaked me out that someone was selling this in the States.
"A lot of Americans wouldn't have a clue who Jimmy Savile is.
“Most people wouldn’t want any association with him but there might be some really sick people waiting in the wings to buy this stuff.
“It’s been made to look like a royal memorabilia auction, but it says in the notes it’s from the private collection of Jimmy Savile.
“You wouldn’t pass on these items to anyone. Someone close to him must have inherited them or someone who had access to that sort of thing.”
Items include a birthday message to Savile, congratulations on his knighthood and an invitation to Kensington Palace.
An original honeymoon photograph of King Charles and Princess Diana is also up for sale.
Estimates range from $400 to more than $1,000 for the collection of letters between Thatcher and Savile.
Several items have received bids.
The auction ends today (February 14).
Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at RR Auction, said: "Every piece of history holds a story, even those intertwined with controversy like the Jimmy Savile lots up for auction."
