Murder accused tells court he heard victim say 'what have I done wrong?' as he was bundled into car boot
A 34-year-old man accused of the kidnapping and savage murder of a young Wigan man has denied the allegations.
But he denied taking part in that kidnapping and said that after Balbas bundled Mr Hughes into the boot of Balbas’ Audi in Wigan he got out before he drove off and took the helpless victim to a country lane where he was hacked to death. John Elvidge, KC, prosecuting, has alleged that the nine defendants “formed a team to track, trace and capture him. Each lent his assistance and encouragement to the others in support of their common objective. They may have played different roles in this joint enterprise but they all acted with the intention that Christopher Hughes should suffer really serious bodily harm.
Spahiu, who worked with Balbas re-possessing leased cars, said that on February 18 he was a front seat passenger in Balbas’s Audi and another defendant, Martin Smith, known as Smithy, was in the rear. Questioned by his barrister Andrew Smith, he agreed that he had not tried to physically stop him. “He said, ‘shut up, get in the car. I was in a bit of shock.”
Further questioned, Spahiu said that that evening he was at the home of one of Balbas’ sisters for her birthday party and while there another defendant, Alan Jaf, received a call from Balbas and told Spahiu that he had killed Mr Hughes.
