He drove the gunman to and away from the scene of the shooting and helped to lure the intended victims there, Manchester Crown Court heard. His lawyer said Jeffries was 'such a rotten driver' he actually helped investigators, as they recovered crucial evidence from the car. The victim's sons and his friends went towards the car, before a gunman who had been lying in wait appeared from behind them and started firing. After the shooting, Williams recruited his friend and neighbour Jeffries to dispose of the car. Jeffries admitted driving without a licence; failing to stop after an accident; failing to report an accident; careless driving; and driving without insurance.
