Williams, 19, the 16-year-old and Kerry Francis, Harrison's girlfriend, are all on trial for murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

After three weeks of evidence, the prosecution and defence agree Williams shot Harrison but whether he meant to is at the centre of the case.

The 16-year-old took legal advice after the killing at a Dunstall Hill drugs den in Wolverhampton on December 30 last year and gave no comment to detectives.

However, he has since pleaded not guilty claiming he had no idea Williams had the gun or planned to use it.
