A woman was fatally stabbed in front of her three-year-old daughter after getting caught up in a fight between a group of men at the Notting Hill Carnival, a court has heard.
Cher Maximen, 32, was stabbed in the groin with a zombie knife on 25 August - the first day of the event and known as "family day" - the Old Bailey was told. She died in hospital six days later.
Shakeil Thibou, 20, from Kensington in west London, denies her murder, attempting to murder another 20-year-old man and possessing an offensive weapon.
Prosecutor Edward Brown KC said: "It is a shocking weapon to have, let alone to use, but use it the defendant did and with devastating consequences."
Mr Thibou's brothers, Sheldon, 25 and Shaeim, 22, are also on trial charged with assaulting an emergency worker and violent disorder, which they deny.
