Good morning readers, and welcome to our live news blog for Thursday, November 5.

Making headlines today is news from our courts, where the murder trial of a Perth man began on Wednesday.

Clarence Jalloh was fresh out of prison, smoking up to 10 bongs a day and living at a “drug house” in Balga around the time of the alleged murder of Mauwa “Melanie” Kizenga, WA’s Supreme Court heard.

Mauwa ‘Melanie’ Kizenga was walking with her cousin when she was attacked.

Prosecutors alleged he simply spotted Kizenga walking in the opposite direction on Walderton Avenue about 8pm on March 16, 2024, when he attacked her.
