What the court heard
He was found guilty of murder in Birmingham, West Midlands, on 8 August 2019. He used a 12-gauge shotgun to shoot his 20-year-old to the face at point blank range. His victim died at the scene. The judge said: "you were intent on murder.. You ... shot him dead without warning. It was more like an execution... a cold blooded killing carried out mercilessly... planned well in advance, in revenge for a perceived slight which offended your arrogant self-esteem" Update: Court of Appeal Criminal Division 3/02/21: Appeal (202001239 A2) rejected
