Man accused of murder 'left the country as his life was in danger'

Abdul Ahsan is accused of shooting Andre Marshall dead in Urmston in 2015. Manchester Crown Court has heard that Mr Ahsan was arrested on suspicion of murder but left the country and headed to Pakistan.

He was extradited back to the UK earlier this year. Mr Ahsan denies murder. Mr Marshall, 29, was found dead in a car park near St Clement’s Church after he had been shot seven times.

Prosecutors have alleged that it was an ‘execution style killing’ which was ‘carried out against a background of gang crime’. Jurors have heard that Mr Marshall was said to have been a member of the Gooch Gang.

Mr Ahsan and Mr Marshall were said to have been ‘criminal associates’. During his evidence, Mr Ahsan has said that he began carrying out ‘favours’ for Mr Marshall and began moving cash and drugs.
