Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, faces charges including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid national driver's licence. He denies the charges.

The court was told that the group - who had been travelling to visit Joshua's father in Ogun State, near Lagos in Nigeria, last December - were asleep when Kayode lost control of his Lexus SUV while he overtook a moving truck and collided with a parked lorry.

Joshua's personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength coach, Sina Ghami, died in the crash.
