A woman told a murder trial she went on holiday with her boyfriend after he allegedly confessed to killing a man. Electrician Liam Smith, 38, was found dead outside his home in Wigan on November 24 last year after being shot and doused in acid.
Michael Hillier, 39, has admitted killing dad-of-two Mr Smith and has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but denies murder. He is jointly charged alongside Rachel Fulstow, 37, his girlfriend at the time of the killing, who is accused of helping Hillier plan the alleged murder.
She denies murder, manslaughter and perverting the course of justice. Jurors at Minshull Street Crown Court have heard Ms Fulstow previously went on a Tinder date with Mr Smith in September 2019, when she claimed she had sexual relations with him, which were ‘unconsensual’.
Ms Fulstow has alleged Hillier reacted with ‘anger and rage’ after she told him of the incident, which she said she didn’t regard as ‘rape’ and did not report to the police.
