Drug Dealer Murdered in Broad Daylight During Cannabis Dispute

Published on May 19, 2025

A 21-year-old father and known drug dealer was brutally stabbed to death during a cannabis deal gone wrong, with the attack captured on CCTV and Ring doorbell footage. Minister Enfrence, nicknamed “Big Z,” was killed by siblings Mya and Isaiah Marsh in a violent confrontation that exposed Birmingham’s deadly drug underworld.

On November 5 last year, Minister had planned to take his driving theory test and attend a job interview—hopeful steps toward a fresh start. Instead, he was lured into a fatal meeting with Mya Marsh, 23, a regular customer who owed him £200. Mya, struggling with mental health issues, had taken the morning off from her job at Lloyds Bank.

After two failed attempts to meet, Minister arrived in Medway Grove on his bicycle around 10 a.m. Mya, dressed in a grey cardigan and Pulp Fiction T-shirt, confronted him aggressively, wielding a kitchen knife. CCTV footage showed her grabbing his bike and shouting, “You’re f going nowhere.”

Her brother Isaiah, 20, soon arrived and escalated the altercation. A physical struggle ensued, during which Minister’s own knife fell to the ground. Mya picked it up and later handed a blade to Isaiah, who stabbed Minister more than 20 times as his sister restrained the victim.

Mortally wounded, Minister fled, collapsing on the street while begging for help. Two bystanders called paramedics, but he died at the scene. Meanwhile, the Marsh siblings fled—Isaiah to a hospital, claiming bicycle injuries, and Mya to work before hiding at a friend’s house. They surrendered to police the next day.

At trial, both denied murder, with Isaiah claiming self-defense and Mya insisting she never intended serious harm. The jury rejected their accounts, convicting them in under four hours. Judge Simon Drew KC sentenced each to life with a minimum of 20 years, citing the “terrifying and painful” nature of Minister’s death.

Though Minister dealt drugs and carried a knife, the judge stressed that “in no way should that justify the manner of his death.” Minister’s mother, Evelyn Nderere, delivered an emotional victim impact statement, saying, “It hurts to wake up and hurts to go to sleep knowing my son will never walk through those doors again.”

The case highlights the devastating toll of knife crime and drug-related violence, leaving two families shattered—one grieving a son, the other facing the consequences of irreversible choices.
