Smartly dressed and wearing glasses in court, Callum Halpin looked nothing like his wanted poster. One of the UK's most wanted men, he had stayed under the radar for nearly four years after playing a key role in the brutal murder of a much loved dad.
Previously described as being a 'gym goer' with an 'athletic build', Halpin had undergone a dramatic change in appearance when he was dragged back to his home city to face justice. Stood in the witness box in the imposing surroundings of Minshull Street Crown Court's oak panelled courtroom, his new bookish style, with long, grown out hair, was not fooling anyone.
The reality was depicted on the court's TV screens, for all to see. Because CCTV footage captured the murder of Luke Graham, a 31-year-old smalltime drug dealer known as 'Tank'.
