A man and woman accused of murder after a dad-of-two was shot dead have pleaded not guilty.
Liam Smith suffered a "fatal gunshot wound and acid attack" and was discovered on Kilburn Drive in Shevington, Wigan at around 7pm on November 24 last year. Michael Hiller, 38, of Ecclesall Road, Sheffield, and Rachel Fulstow, 37, of Andrew Drive, York, both pleaded not guilty to murder during a hearing at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The defendants appeared in court via video link and are set to go on trial in July. Ms Fulstow is also accused of perverting the course of justice. She was not asked to enter a plea to that charge during the hearing.
