Convicted murderer Redmond admits conspiring to kill drug dealer
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Wayne Cooney (33) was jailed for life for the murder of Mr Davis after a jury found Cooney was the cyclist who circled Mr Davis for three days like a "shark moving towards its prey" before firing eight shots at him from a 9mm pistol and striking him three times. Mr Justice Tony Hunt sentenced Cooney to the mandatory term of life imprisonment for murder, saying that Cooney was "obviously an extremely dangerous individual".; Mr Justice Paul McDermott remanded Redmond in custody until May 13, for a sentence hearing.
