The beautician, 26, was shot last Christmas Eve outside The Lighthouse in Wallasey, Merseyside.

Connor Chapman, 23, of Birkenhead, is said to have sprayed 12 bullets from a sub-machine gun at gang rivals.

He admits his role in torching the stolen motor used in the attack.

But he says the Mercedes was borrowed by an associate on the night in question.

Yesterday the court was told the car was burnt out on New Year’s Eve in a lane in Frodsham, Cheshire, near the M56.

The jury at Liverpool Crown Court was yesterday shown footage of the black Mercedes travelling in a convoy with another Mercedes vehicle on New Year's Eve.

 Chapman denies murder. Thomas Waring, 20, also of Birkenhead, denies assisting an offender.

The trial continues.
