At the time of the incident, all three defendants knew each other and were living at Home Office-approved hotel accommodation for asylum seekers near Horsham.
The court heard Ahmadi and Alshafe met each other on a small boat from France arriving in the UK on June 19, 2025, while Alshafe and Al-Danasurt were roommates at the hotel.
