A robber shot his friend dead by mistake as they tried to steal designer watches, the Old Bailey heard today.

Daniel Tesfay, 26, and Jonathan Barnes, 20, had agreed to buy what they thought were Rolex watches for £6,500.

But
after they made the deal in a house in Croydon, south London, in August
last year, Mr Barnes grabbed the watches and shouted 'let’s do it',
jurors were told.Tesfay produced a semi-automatic pistol and threatened seller Jordaan Williams, said Roger Smart, prosecuting.

But Mr Williams grabbed Mr Barnes as the men tried to flee and Tesfay again threatened him.

Mr
Smart said: 'Jordaan Williams again grabbed hold of Jonathan Barnes and
on this occasion Daniel Tesfay then shot at him, but missed and instead
shot and killed his fellow robber.'
