Five men are currently on trial accused of murdering 28-year-old council worker
Police discovered the car used during the shooting of Ashley Dale by chance after being called to a domestic incident.
"It was a vehicle which I believed to be of interest. It had been circulated as part of our briefings, which we have on a daily basis, as being involved in some way in the murder case. PC Ward agreed that is was "unusual" to see a "car of this nature parked in this neighbourhood". When it was put to him that the vehicle was "not hidden", he responded: "Not if you’re walking to the front door."
The court heard that, at around 11.40pm on August 20 2022, two men approached Ashley’s white Volkswagen T-Roc car - which was parked outside the house - and slashed its tyres, causing the alarm to sound, in an effort to "lure" the occupants out. But it is thought Ashley believed the alarm had been set off by heavy rain and did not leave her house.
