Four men - Jamie Coggins, 28, Martin Wilson, 37, Connor Smith, 26, and Anthony Llewellyn, 25 - are all accused of murder and conspiracy to possess a 9mm Glock self-loading pistol with intent to endanger life.

Melanie Smith, 47, and Mark Sharpe, 49, - the parents of Connor Smith - are accused of assisting an offender, the particulars being they allegedly helped their son travel from Liverpool to Portsmouth on November 26 2020, two weeks after the shooting.
