Joseph Peers is one of five men currently standing trial accused of murdering 28-year-old council worker

The man accused of being the getaway driver for Ashley Dale's killer has told a court that slashing her tyres would have been "the lowest of the low".

Paul Greaney KC, prosecuting, asked him during his cross-examination about the "attack on Ashley Dale's car" prior to the shooting. He said: "We’re seeing the Hyundai arrive in the area of Leinster Road shortly after half past 11. Mr Greaney continued: "Your job was to drive that car and otherwise support James Witham in that plot to attack Leinster Road and kill Lee Harrison, leaving behind no witnesses."

Mr Greaney said: "The men who had damaged the car were not deterred. Fifty minutes later, at about 12.30am, they returned. Mr Greaney said that "certain events at Glastonbury Festival" in June 2022 had "played an important part" in the alleged motive behind the attack, adding: "Ashley Dale and Lee Harrison, her boyfriend, attended the festival, as did at least four of the defendants - Sean Zeisz, Niall Barry, Ian Fitzgibbon and James Witham. A group of other young men from Liverpool were also present, one of whom was a person called Jordan Thompson - who was known as Dusty.
