He went to the station at about 9.45pm, but when he arrived he saw a man he knew on the opposite, westbound platform, under the footbridge, and walked across to him, meeting at the entrance to the platform, opposite the Coach House pub, by which time another man had joined them.

All three started walking along Worthing Road, East Preston, but as they neared the ICIS building, the men he had met attacked the victim.
