After the stabbing, Mr Jones drove to a nearby street, where he dumped the kitchen knife he had used in a drain, the court heard. The case was adjourned until Thursday.
"Unluckily for him, a CCTV camera caught the car passing where the knife was hidden in the drain," said Mr Worsley.
Mr Worsley said the four defendants owned a number of mobile phones and call records had been used to identify their location at any given time.
He said: "A mobile phone is a much more sophisticated instrument than most people who use them realise."
He added: "When you use a phone, although you may not have realised it, there is a record roughly of where that phone was."
