Moment man accused of Ashley Dale's murder is arrested at Glastonbury festival
manchestereveningnews.co.ukFootage showed the moment a man accused of organising Ashley Dale's murder was found with a knife on his way to Glastonbury Festival.
The video was shown to jurors during the second week of the trial of six men in relation to the 28-year-old's death at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday (October 9).
Ashley, an environmental health officer for Knowsley Council, was killed after she was shot on August 21 last year. James Witham, now 41, has admitted kicking through the front door of Ashley's home in Leinster Road, Old Swan, in the early hours of the day she was killed, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Witham accepts opening fire with a Skorpion sub-machine gun and firing the bullet that killed Ashley, but will claim he did not see or hear her and was attempting to 'send a message' to her boyfriend, 25-year-old Lee Harrison, who was not at home.
