Prosecuting and defence attorneys have presented conflicting versions of the events that led to the death of Ahmaud Arbery in the US state of Georgia last year, as the long-awaited trial of the three men charged with killing the 25 year old opened on Friday.In her opening statement, prosecutor Linda Dunikoski said the suspects had no reason to follow Arbery or to suspect him of wrongdoing when they chased him through their neighbourhood in Brunswick, a coastal community 480km (300 miles) southeast of Atlanta.“They assumed that he must have committed some crime that day,” Dunikoski said. “He tried to run around their truck and get away from these strangers, total strangers, who had already told him that they would kill him. And then they killed him.”
