David Ungi was linked to the fatal shooting of Vinny Waddington by a Lucozade bottle left in the back of an Audi, a murder trial has heard.
The 31-year-old today went on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering the teenager, who was blasted in the chest with a shotgun after a crash on Banks Road in Garston nearly eight years ago. The defendant was then said to have fled to Spain, where he was eventually arrested last year while visiting a gym.
Peter Glenser KC, prosecuting, told a jury of seven men and five women this morning, 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.
