A couple who “acted as judge, jury and executioner” have received life sentences for the murder of a Wigan man they accused of rape.
Liam Smith, 38, was shot in the face at point-blank range on 24 November last year by a Sheffield drug dealer, Michael Hillier, 39, who then poured sulphuric acid on his victim in order to “seek justice” for his partner, who claimed Smith had raped her in 2019.
