A 33-year-old man has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 34 years for his role in a gangland shooting outside an east London restaurant, which left a nine-year-old girl with a bullet lodged in her brain.

The girl was hit in the head by one of six bullets fired by a man on a Ducati Monster motorbike as she ate ice-cream with her family in the Evin restaurant in Kingsland High Street, Hackney, on 29 May last year.
