| Lee Holt |
Lee Holt, 32 and his partner, Kate Phelan, went to the Moseleys to sort a nasty dispute between Thomas and their ward - upon getting to the property they began banging at the windows apparently drunk witnesses confirmed they'd been drinking at a funeral.

"Tell them you done it because you can’t get done for it,"Robert O’Sullivan QC said:
"It is the prosecution case that Matthew Moseley, from the outset, has sought to manipulate his son into accepting responsibility for the shooting and the death of Lee Holt."
"Thomas initially did just that, out of what you may think was loyalty and love for his father."
"Indeed he was arrested and interviewed by police on suspicion of the murder of Lee Holt, before the truth came out."He said:
"It is inherently unlikely, is it not, that Thomas can put the receiver down, hand it to someone, pick up the gun and fire it on the doorstep in all that time."Mr O’Sullivan added:
"The prosecution suggest the defendant was anxious to disseminate a false account of the events by telling lots and lots of people that his son had shot someone, anticipating that the truth would come out and his son would drop the pretence that he had fired the gun."Matthew Moseley said he did not know who had fired the shotgun when he was arrested.
Father and son were taken to local magistrates in the back of a bugged police van as detectives applied for more time to question them.
The conversation that ensued between the cold-blooded killer-father and his terrified son in the back of the bugged police van blew the case wide open:
"He can be heard telling Thomas that he is a minor and cannot go to jail and if Matthew Moseley did not get out they would come for his mother and younger siblings."
"He is there putting emotional pressure on his son to take the blame. He went on to say to Thomas ‘self-defence for you, you didn’t know what you were doing. Me, different ball game'."Matthew Moseley was charged with murder on arrival and was remanded in custody at HMP Preston.
In prison the defendant, who denies murder, made a number of phone calls which were recorded, said the prosecutor.
In one of his recorded prison calls/conversations, he told his wife Julia:
"I weren’t even f***ing aiming. I just picked it up and bang."The trial is will last an estimate of four weeks.
