"I am going to be talking in short sentences and simple words," Mr Penny KC told the court on Wednesday. "This is so that Louis De Zoysa can understand what I am saying."It told the jury that: "On Friday 25 September 2020, Louis de Zoysa was walking along London Road, in Norbury." Mr De Zoysa, who was 23 at the time, was then taken to Croydon Police Station and put in a holding room, still handcuffed.
