Man on trial for kidnapping dad and hacking him to death implicates two of his murder co-accused

A man accused of kidnapping and murdering a dad from Wigan has dramatically implicated two of his co-accused in the offences.

READ MORE: Criminal brothers hauled to court after Audi trying to flee from police pulls into dead end John Elvidge, KC, prosecuting, said a Home Office pathologist 'catalogued over 90 sharp force injuries to Christopher Hughes’ head, neck, body and limbs - the vast majority of these injuries were inflicted whilst he was still alive'. Mr Elvidge has alleged that the nine defendants who deny murder, kidnapping and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm had formed a team 'to track, trace and capture him'.

The nine defendants are - Wigan men - Jaf; Martin Smith, 34, of Greenwood Avenue: Andrius Uzkuraitis, 27, of Holly Road, Worsley Hall; Dean O’Neill-Davey, 30, of Conrad Close, formerly of Bulteel Street; Mohammed Razgar, 40, of Plane Avenue, Worsley Hall; Khalil Awla, 48, of Greenwood Avenue, Worsley Hall; Curtis Balbas, 30, of Matheson Drive, Worsley Hall.

Asked by his KC Julia Smart what he intended to do with any evidence they found, he said that he would have given it to the police. He said that Spaihiu, Smith, O’Neill-Davey and Voja also turned up while they were checking camera evidence but he did not know how they came to be there. He told the jury that Balbas said he had 'put someone in a car.' He said it was Ozzie. The court has heard that was a nickname for Mr Hughes.
