A man and his girlfriend went on holiday to Jamaica just a week after he carried out the killing of a dad-of-two.
Liam Smith, 38, was shot at close range by Michael Hillier, 39, who then doused him in acid, burning away his flesh, a jury was told. The electrician, from Wigan, was killed outside his house after having a "one night stand" with Hillier's co-accused, former nail technician Rachel Fulstow, 37, in 2019.
A year after her "brief liaison" with Mr Smith, Fulstow become the partner of Hillier who was not happy about the fling and was "led to believe she had been raped," Jason Pitter KC, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury.
