Wednesday, May 14, 2025 - A brother and sister have been found guilty of murdering 21-year-old Minister Enfrence following a violent confrontation believed to have stemmed from a petty dispute over cannabis.
Isaiah Marsh, 21, and his sister, Mya Marsh, 23, fatally
attacked Mr. Enfrence near their home in the Kings Norton area of Birmingham in
November 2024.
According to CCTV footage presented in court, Isaiah grabbed
Mr. Enfrence before Mya joined the assault, eventually handing a knife to her
brother. Mr. Enfrence was stabbed over 20 times in the body, arms, hands, and
head, and died shortly after the attack.
Prosecutors suggested the altercation may have been triggered
by Mya feeling she had been “kept waiting” by Mr. Enfrence, possibly in
connection with a cannabis transaction. There was also mention of a dispute
involving a damaged bicycle.
“It seems Mya wanted to buy cannabis,” said Jennifer Josephs
KC during the trial. “It might have been an argument about a damaged bicycle.
The two defendants knew Minister before the incident. There is no dispute as to
who was there. Much of the CCTV comes from nearby homes.”
Footage showed Mya shouting while wielding the knife, with
Mr. Enfrence clearly unarmed. After the stabbing, the siblings disposed of the
murder weapon and their clothes in a wheelie bin.
Following the killing, Mya took Mr. Enfrence’s bicycle and
went to work as if nothing had happened. Isaiah later sought treatment at a
hospital for injuries to his hands. Mya was arrested the following day, and
Isaiah turned himself in shortly after.
Both defendants denied murder and manslaughter but were
convicted of murder by the jury. Sentencing will take place at a later date.
“Minister, you have been taken from us so abruptly, and this has left a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled. But we are comforted knowing you are now with the Lord in a better place. We will meet you again in eternity.”
