THE trial of a man accused of stabbing a father-of-three to death in front of his family is due to begin tomorrow (Tuesday).

Homeless Matthew Quesada, 25, is due to appear at the Old Bailey to stand trial for killing 63-year-old Alan Smith in March last year.

Mr Smith, of Hibbert Road, Walthamstow, was sitting in the Roma Cafe in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, with his family when he was attacked.

The trial was due to take place in February, but was adjourned for administrative reasons.
