Liam Smith, 38, had acid poured over him after he was shot in the face outside his home in Wigan, Greater Manchester, on November 24 last year. As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Michael Hillier, 39, admitted manslaughter but denied murdering the electrician.
The court heard Fulstow met Mr Smith on the dating app Tinder. The pair went on a date in York in 2019, when she said they had "non-consensual sex" at a hotel in York. The couple went on holiday to Jamaica together days after the killing. Hillier, who told the court he was concerned in the production and distribution of a large-scale cannabis operation, said they had both planned the attack on Mr Smith after Fulstow disclosed she had been "graphically raped" by him.
