David Ungi left the UK on a ferry to France the day after the fatal shooting of Vinny Waddington and was not found for seven years, a murder trial has heard.
The 31-year-old yesterday went on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of the murdering the teenager, who was blasted in the chest with a shotgun after a crash on Banks Road in Garston in 2015. Spanish police spent days scoping out the wanted fugitive's hiding place after a tip-off before arresting him at a gym on the Costa del Sol.
Peter Glenser KC, prosecuting, told a jury of seven men and five women on Thursday that the 18-year-old victim was "gunned down in cold blood" on the evening of July 14 2015. Mr Waddington had been the pillion passenger of a scrambler bike which was involved in a collision with the blue Audi A3 before he was shot dead.
