James Witham has admitted manslaughter but denies murdering 28-year-old council worker
The Knowsley Council worker died aged 28 after being shot in the abdomen and collapsing in her back yard on Leinster Road in Old Swan shortly after midnight on August 21 last year. Five men are currently on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of her murder.
Mr Greaney: "You aren’t prepared to tell lies about the circumstances in which Ashley was killed? You said to the police when they asked you what had happened to Ashley that you had nothing to do with it."Mr Greaney: "You knew you had killed Ashley and were telling the police it was nothing to do with you."Mr Greaney: "The next day you said you had been set up."Witham: "No, I wasn't lying. I was lying there, it was me that done it.
The court heard that, at around 11.40pm on August 20 2022, two men approached Ashley’s white Volkswagen T-Roc car - which was parked outside the house - and slashed its tyres, causing the alarm to sound, in an effort to "lure" the occupants out. But it is thought Ashley believed the alarm had been set off by heavy rain and did not leave her house.
Mr Greaney said that "certain events at Glastonbury Festival" in June 2022 had "played an important part" in the alleged motive behind the attack, adding: "Ashley Dale and Lee Harrison, her boyfriend, attended the festival, as did at least four of the defendants - Sean Zeisz, Niall Barry, Ian Fitzgibbon and James Witham. A group of other young men from Liverpool were also present, one of whom was a person called Jordan Thompson - who was known as Dusty.
