Nathan Higham opened fire on a car before vaulting garden fences to escape as two brothers sought to cover their tracks

A 'stupid argument' descended into gunfire before those responsible tried to bury the evidence of their guilt. Gunman Nathan Higham unleashed a volley of three bullets upon a car in a field against the background of the simmering dispute then 'legged it', vaulting over the garden fences of nearby houses in a bid to escape.

enquiries later revealed that the gunman had jumped over a fence into the garden of a property on Grantham Road which shared a back fence with Higham's mum's partner's home. The 22-year-old, of no fixed abode, was caught on camera exiting the latter address around 10 minutes later and entering a taxi which travelled to his mother's house on Ashfield Crescent.

enquiries meanwhile showed the gunman's accomplices continuing on foot towards Ashwood Close, with a grey Peugeot 308 seen leaving the area moments later and travelling two miles to land off Rock Lane in Melling . Here, two males were seen exiting the car and walking towards a field and out of view before one briefly returned to collect a spade in his left hand and 'another object' in his right.
