A man who shot and threw acid over a father-of-two has told a court he and his girlfriend decided to “go down the vigilante route” after she told him she had been raped.
Michael Hillier, 39, denies the murder of Liam Smith, 38, but has admitted the manslaughter of the electrician, who was lured from his home in Wigan, Greater Manchester, on November 24 last year, shot and had sulphuric acid poured over him as he lay dying.
