Paul Bryan is standing trial for the murder of Roman Szalajko who was fatally stabbed in 1984.
A man evaded murder charges for nearly 40 years after he assumed the identity of a dead Welshman and travelled to Portugal, a court has heard.
Opening his trial on Tuesday, prosecutor Louis Mably KC said the Polish victim was a longstanding UK resident and divorced father-of-two.A known gambler, he was "secretive" and kept large amounts of cash at home, sometimes going out with thousands of pounds in his wallet, jurors were told. His body was still warm to the touch, there was evidence of a search, and the constables noticed lengths of hair on the floor, Mr Mably said.
Records showed that, three days after the murder, Bryan had applied for an emergency passport, his old one having expired in 1977, jurors heard.The only post-1989 record was an arrest in 1997 when he had given police his name and was noted as being with a woman called Sylvia Bryan, Mr Mably said. "The alarm bells went off and the suspicion was this defendant had assumed the identity of the Welsh Paul Bryan and further investigation found that to be the case."In 1989, a passport was also issued under the identity of the Welsh Paul Bryan, which was later renewed.
