manchestereveningnews.co.ukA woman accused of plotting the murder of a man she'd been on a Tinder date with denied kissing her boyfriend goodbye, wishing him 'good luck' and making him a 'packed lunch' before he killed him.
Michael Hillier, 39, has admitted killing dad-of-two Liam Smith, who was shot dead and doused in acid outside his home in Wigan in November last year.
Hillier's partner, 37-year-old Rachel Fulstow, denies having any involvement in the alleged murder. They both deny murder, but Hillier has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
