He also said Corrigan had talked about a “raid” at his home that took place on August 17, less than three months before his brother’s death. Mr Power asked: “What kind of warrant did the police have?” Mrs Corrigan replied: “I don’t remember… it was four years ago.”

Mr Power said: “It was a gun raid, wasn’t it?”, to which Mrs Corrigan replied: “I don’t remember.” Then he asked, “Have you heard of Ann Marie Bennett? Who is she?” Mrs. Corrigan said, “A woman.” Mr. Power said, “How do you know about a woman called Ann Marie Bennett?” Ms. Corrigan responds “because he had Nyle arrested on false accusations.”.

Mr Power asked: “What were the false allegations?” and Ms. Corrigan responded “something about him showing up at her house, but he wasn’t charged.” Asked again what the allegations were, Ms Corrigan said: “I don’t remember, do you have them in front of you?”

Mr Power said: “Should I try to refresh your memory? Is it because he turned around and pointed a shotgun at you?” Mr Corrigan’s sister said: “A shotgun, that definitely didn’t happen. You’re bringing up things that are irrelevant.” Power then asked how he knew and Corrigan replied: “Because he didn’t have a shotgun. The police would have found it.”

In a separate exchange during 90 minutes of cross-examination, Power asked Corrigan how his brother made money. She said: “Nothing, he was 19 when he died. He had anger issues and ADHD. He didn’t work. My mother gave him money.” Mr Power said: “You told the police you had no problems with anyone else, is that true?”

Corrigan said she didn’t know, and Power asked Corrigan, who was 17 when her brother was killed, to confirm that both she and her mother had access to the messages. on your phone. She confirmed that this was true. He then asked, “Did Nyle deal drugs?” Corrigan responded, “Not that I know of.”

He said: “Have you ever seen messages from your mother looking for money for drugs?” She responded that she would have seen the messages, but she was only 17 and they were none of her business. He said, “Did you have any suspicion that Nyle might be dealing drugs?” Ms. Corrigan responded no. He asked again: “Had Nyle had problems with someone else, a problem with someone?” Mrs Corrigan told him: “Not that I know of, but he didn’t want to talk to me, I was his little sister.”

Power later asked if Corrigan had ever been stabbed in early 2020, which she confirmed. He said, “How did you know he was stabbed?” and she said, “because he had a scar.” Power asked, “Did Nyle tell you anything about the stabbing?” and Corrigan said no. The defense attorney then asked, “I thought you said you didn’t have problems with anyone else?”

Mrs Corrigan said: “You’re talking about months before.” Mr Power said: “Do you know anything about him being stabbed?” She said, “No, I just know that he was stabbed. I was 16. Would you explain that to your 16-year-old son?”

Power later asked Corrigan why his brother had two phones: an iPhone and a Nokia. Then he asked, “Do you know what a grafted phone is?” She said that “everyone knows what a graft phone is” and Power asked her to tell the jury what it was. Mrs Corrigan said: “I don’t know, I’m a girl. I don’t have a phone grafted on. Why don’t you tell them what it is?”

Mr Power asked “is this a phone used for criminal activity?” before asking “Did Nyle have a grafted phone?” Mrs Corrigan said: “A Nokia and a grafted phone are two different things.”

During the opening of the indictment, Wright told the jury that “the origins of the dispute lie with a man named Liam Cohen.”. Wright said Cohen also lived in Little Moss Hey with his partner Kayleigh Donnelly and had previously been on good terms with Corrigan, but the relationship had “gone sour” due to an unpaid debt.

The court heard the messages suggested Mr Cohen owed Mr Corrigan £60, while Wilson, a distant relative of the former, also owed £20. The jury heard messages first showing Mrs Kelly, using her daughter’s name. Facebook account, and Mr. Corrigan himself later attempted to recover the unpaid money.

Wright said this culminated on November 9 when Corrigan sent Donnelly a message that read: “It’s you with the sassy attitude, bastard. I’m texting you because everything he does is blank, tell him I want the dough tomorrow.”

Wright told the jury that Cohen messaged Wilson and said: “Call me boy, I need you to come with me, Lesley, the cheeky one who calls Kay and stuff.” Wright said the “minor debt” had increased and an “irritated” Mr Cohen had “brought in” Wilson.

The prosecutor told the jury on November 11 that “a team of men gathered around Martin Wilson and traveled to Little Moss Hey.” The court heard that shortly after 9pm, Mrs Kelly and her daughter, Mrs Corrigan, were at home when an Audi 4×4 pulled up to their house and several men, “wearing balaclavas and face coverings”, They demanded to know where Mr. Corrigan was.

Wright told the court the group said “Nyle was dead.”and when Mrs. Corrigan went to her grandfather’s house, they followed her in the car and shouted at her brother “he shouldn’t start something if he wasn’t going to finish it.”

During continuing questioning yesterday afternoon, Power asked Corrigan if she heard Wilson talking to her mother. She said, “No, I walked away. He got out of the car and said, ‘Where’s your brother?’ Power responded: “Nobody was saying ‘when we see your brother, it’s over for him,’ right?”

Mrs Corrigan told him: “Yes, they did, are you sitting there calling me a liar?” Mr Power said: “I’m stuck,” and Mrs Corrigan replied: “Stop being funny.” Mr Power said: “You said Nyle didn’t have a phone number” and followed up with “were you covering up his drug dealing?” Mrs Corrigan said: “I wasn’t.”

Mr Power said: “That’s why Martin (Wilson) had been with your mother, to get some cocaine.” Mrs Corrigan said: “He’s absolutely chatting, my goodness.” Power said, “You weren’t there,” and Corrigan responded, “Then why would you jump out of the car and say where your brother is?” Power told Corrigan, “You’re trying to mislead the jury when you said Nyle wasn’t having problems with anyone else,” which she denied.

The jury had previously been told that the alleged gunmen, Wilson and Smith, had met the night of the shooting and had purchased Black hats, masks and gloves from a convenience store. Wright told the jury they then proceeded on foot before having a “pre-shooting rendezvous when the Components of the plan could be put together, including: weapon, ammunition, location of victim, and a rough plan for post-shooting cleanup.”

The two men then allegedly headed to the location where they waited. “knowing that Nyle Corrigan was going to be there”. The court heard the killers exchanged words with their target before and after the shot, which passed through his spine and ruptured an artery, before leaving him to die.

The killers then stole Mr Corrigan’s Sur-ron electric bike to escape. The bicycle was later found abandoned in undergrowth in the Quickthorn Crescent area, while the firearm, which had a defect that prevented a second cartridge from being loaded into the magazine, was later recovered in an unrelated police operation.

Coggins, of The Spinney, Stockbridge Village; Llewellyn, formally of Olivette Way, Saint Helena; Midway Road Blacksmith in huyton; Wilson, of no fixed address, and Melanie Smith and Mark Sharpe, both also of Midway Road, deny the charges against them. The trial before Judge Goose continues.
