Police ‘searched’ teenager’s home for weapons before he was shot dead

He also said Ms Corrigan had spoken of a “raid” at her home address on August 17, less than three months before her brother’s death. Mr Power asked: “What kind of search warrant did the police have?” Ms Corrigan replied: “I can’t remember…it was four years ago.”

Mr Power said: “This was a firearms raid, wasn’t it?” and Mrs. Corrigan said, “I can’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 of a woman called Ann Marie Bennett?” Ms. Corrigan replied, “For having Nyle arrested on false allegations.”.

Mr Power asked: “What were the false allegations?” Ms. Corrigan responded that “she said something about coming to his house, but no charges were made against him.” Asked again what the allegations were, Ms Corrigan said: “I can’t remember, did you put them in front of you?”

Mr Power said: “Shall I try to jog your memory, is this because she was going around pulling a shotgun on him?” Mr Corrigan’s sister said: “A shotgun, absolutely nothing like that happened. You’re bringing up issues that are irrelevant.” Mr Power then asked how he knew Ms Corrigan’s answer: “Because he didn’t have a shotgun. The police would have found it.”

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

Ms Corrigan said she was not aware of this and Mr Power asked Ms 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. He confirmed that this was true. He then asked: “Was Nyle dealing drugs?” Ms. Corrigan’s response: “Not that I know of.”

He said: “Have you ever seen the messages where your mother is chasing money for drugs?” He said he would see the messages, but he was only 17 and they were none of his business. He said: “Did you have any suspicion that Nyle might be dealing drugs?” Ms. Corrigan answered no. He asked again: “Was Nyle in trouble with anyone else, was he in a fight with anyone?” Miss Corrigan told him: “Not that I know, but he wouldn’t argue with me, I was his little sister.”

Mr Power then asked whether Mr Corrigan had been stabbed in early 2020 and he confirmed that he had been stabbed. “How did you know she had been stabbed,” he asked, to which she replied, “Because there were scars.” Mr Power asked: “Did Nyle tell you anything about the stabbing?” Miss Corrigan said no. The defense attorney then asked: “I thought you said he wasn’t in trouble with anyone else?”

Ms Corrigan said: “You’re talking months ago.” Mr Power said: “Do you know anything about him being stabbed?” He said: “No, I just know you were stabbed. I was 16. Can you explain that to your 16-year-old?”

Mr Power then asked Ms Corrigan why her brother had two phones: an iPhone and a Nokia. He then asked: “Do you know what a graft phone is?” He said “everyone knows what a graft phone is” and Mr Power asked him to tell the jury what it was. Ms Corrigan said: “I don’t know, I’m a girl. I don’t have a corruption phone. Why don’t you tell them what it is?”

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

During the opening of the indictment, Mr Wright told the jury that “the dispute had its origins in a man called Liam Cohen”.. Mr Wright said Mr Cohen lived at Little Moss Hey with his partner Kayleigh Donnelly and had previously been on good terms with Mr Corrigan but the relationship had “soured” over an unpaid debt.

The court heard messages suggesting Mr Cohen owed Mr Corrigan £60 and Cohen’s distant relative Wilson owed £20. The jury first heard messages showing Ms Kelly using her daughter’s finger. Facebook Mr Corrigan himself then attempted to recover the outstanding money.

Mr Wright said this culminated on November 9 when Mr Corrigan sent a message to Ms Donnelly saying: “That’s you with your cheeky attitude. I’m texting you because all he does is vain, tell him I want the money tomorrow.

Mr Wright told the jury Mr Cohen sent Wilson a text saying: “Call me lad, I want you to come with me to Lesley, the cheeky bastard is looking for Kay or something.” Mr Wright said the “small debt” had increased and a “frustrated” Mr Cohen had “brought in” Wilson.

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

Mr Wright told court group said ‘Nyle is dead’When Ms. Corrigan left to go to her grandparents’ house, they followed her in the car and shouted at her brother that “he shouldn’t start something if he’s not going to finish it.”

During further questioning yesterday afternoon, Mr Power asked Ms Corrigan if she had heard Wilson speaking to his mother. He said: “No, I walked away. He got out of the car and said, ‘Where’s your brother?’ Mr Power replied: “No one was saying ‘once we see your brother it’s over for him’, were they?”

Miss Corrigan told him: “Yes they did, did you sit there and call me a liar?” Mr Power said: “I stood up” and Ms Corrigan replied: “Stop being funny.” “You said you didn’t have Nyle’s phone number,” Mr. Power said. “Were you covering up his drug dealing?” he continued. Ms Corrigan said: “It wasn’t me.”

Mr Power said: “That’s what Martin (Wilson) came to your mother for, wasn’t it, to get some cocaine.” Ms Corrigan said: “He’s definitely chatting, oh my.” Mr Power said: “You weren’t there” while Ms Corrigan replied: “So why would he jump out of the car and tell you where your brother was?” Mr Power told Ms Corrigan: “You are trying to deceive the jury when you say Nyle has no problems with anyone else.” Corrigan denied this.

The jury was previously told that the alleged gunman (Wilson and Smith) met and shopped on the night of the shooting. black hats, face masks and gloves from a convenience store. Mr Wright told the jury they “proceeded on foot before going on a pre-shoot date”. The following components of the plan may be assembled: weapon, ammunition, location of the victim, and a rough plan for post-shooting cleanup.”

Allegedly, the two men then went to the scene and waited there. “Knowing that Nyle Corrigan will be there”. The court heard the killers spoke to their target before and after the shot went through his spine and ruptured an artery before leaving him for dead.

The killers then stole Mr Corrigan’s Sur-ron electric bike to escape. The bike was later found abandoned in bushes in the Quickthorn Crescent area, while the firearm, which was defective and meant a second cartridge could not be loaded into the magazine, was later seized in an unrelated police operation.
