A jury heard how Ashley's boyfriend and his friend were members of an organised crime group said to be feuding with her alleged killers
A jury has heard how Ashley Dale's boyfriend and his friend were alleged members of an organised crime group known as the 'Hillsiders'.
Witham has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies murder. The prosecution case is that Witham and a second man, Joseph Peers, 29, were "dispatched" to kill Harrison by three men - Niall Barry, 26; Sean Zeisz, 28 and Ian Fitzgibbon, 28 - who were allegedly directing the hit from a flat in Pilch Lane, Huyton.
Ashley answered: "Well that’s what Lee is saying that’s why he hasn’t really done anything coz he knows Lee has everyone backing him and they aren’t assed." PC Farquhar replied: "Yes he is considered to be a significant member of the Hillsiders organised crime group", and added: "He is referred to by himself and other members of the organised crime group as Dusty."
