The friend claimed Jobie Tyers, 31, threw his shoes individually out of a car as it was driving through Tang Hall and said he was getting rid of evidence.
He alleged Tyers was wearing shorts on a cold night when he had turned up at the friend’s house with Michael Richard Mulvana, 31, on the evening Indrit Mustafaj, 26, of Bradford, was stabbed to death in a bedsit in Vyner Street, off Haxby Road.
The friend told the jury he later saw trousers, a top and a baseball cap he didn’t recognise in his back garden.
While at the house, the court heard one of the two visitors said “If we get caught, don’t grass me up” and the other replied “You know I will never do that.”
Later when Mulvana was not present, Tyers had told the friend the two had hidden a machete in a skip, alleged the friend.
At the start of the trial, the jury heard police found a knife in a skip outside the bedsit.
