The brutal murder initially left detectives baffled - until they got the vital breakthrough they needed
In the words of Det Chief Insp Gina Brennand, it was a 'proper whodunnit from the start'. At 6.40pm on November 24 last year, Liam Smith was shot dead yards from the front door of his home in Wigan.
"Footage, some from Liam, the victim's home address itself, and some from a bin wagon and an Asda delivery van, captured the vehicle driven by the suspect Michael Hillier on the day of the murder," said DCI Brennand. "What that showed us was that that car was outside of Liam's home address for almost 10 hours before he got out and murdered Liam.
"The thread that you pull that after that was a house of cards that led to one person to another to another to CCTV to Michael Hillier to Rachel Fulstow."
