A MAN accused of attempted murder has told a jury he was 'overtaking a slow motorbike' moments before the teenage rider was shot twice.
Aiden Broadhurst, 29, denies a plot to kill the 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The boy was blasted as part of a feud between a group linked to Eccles and a rival faction, prosecutors allege. They claim 31-year-old Kyle Meighan fired two bullets while being driven on a motorbike.
The teenager was also riding a motorbike at the time, at about 2.10pm on Sunday, March 19. One bullet missed but the other was a 'direct hit, entering his shoulder and lodging next to his spine.
Five men are on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of attempted murder. Mr Meighan, Philip Broadhurst, 27; his brother Aiden Broadhurst, 29; Jieh Sufyaan, 35; and Andrew Whiteside, 29, have all pleaded not guilty.
