A KENTON man accused of wielding an axe in a Tamil gang war has walked free.
Prosecutors claim members of Wembley's notorious DMX group clashed with the Harrow Gang in Lancelot Road, on August 7, leaving one man with multiple fractures to his jaw and face.
Ajithkumar Tharmarajah, 26, of Chapman Crescent, was at the scene at the time of the attack and was accused of violent disorder as well as possession of an offensive weapon.
But the Old Bailey has heard how he was trying to defuse the situation and on Friday he was cleared of the charges, along with his father Kandiah Tharmarajah, 48, who had been charged with violent disorder.
Five men are still standing trial accused of taking part in a pitched battle and defendants, allegedly from both gangs, have been taking the witness stand this week.
The trial continues.
The full charges in the trial are: - Arulmurugan Sepamalai, 22, of Chapman Crescent, Kenton, denies attempted murder, an alternative of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, violent disorder, and possession of an offensive weapon, namely a cricket bat.
- Iynkaran Tharmarlingham, 24, of Sudbury Heights Avenue, Greenford, denies violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon, namely a metal pole.
The above are said to be part of the DMX gang.
- Mathusoothan Satchithananthan, 28, of Maryatt Avenue, Rayners Lane, denies violent disorder and having an article with a blade or point, namely a knife.
