Connor Chapman says that he "betrayed" an associate who lent him his car after the murder of Elle Edwards.
The 23-year-old is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering the beautician, who was shot dead aged 26 outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, Wirral, on Christmas Eve last year. He continued to give evidence to the jury from the witness box for a third day yesterday, Monday.
During cross-examination by Nigel Power KC, prosecuting, Chapman was asked about a Mercedes GLC car which he borrowed from a man who cannot be named for legal reasons seven days later on New Year's Eve. This vehicle was subsequently driven in convoy with a stolen Mercedes A Class, which the gunman used on the night of the shooting, to a rural location in Frodsham where the latter was torched.
