The killer who shot and killed council worker Ashley Dale holed out in a hotel for two nights with his getaway driver after the shooting and deposited £1,000 cash into his bank account, a court heard today.
Environmental health worker Ashley Dale, 28, was shot with a Skorpion machine pistol at her home in Old Swan, Liverpool, in the early hours of August 21 last year by gunman James Witham, who admits manslaughter.
Witham also deposited £1,000 cash into his bank account two days after the shooting, the court has heard.
Witham, 41, and four other defendants - Niall Barry, 26, Sean Zeisz, 28, Ian Fitzgibbon, 28, and Joseph Peers, 29 - deny her murder, which is alleged to have happened following a feud with her partner Lee Harrison.
