Opening the case against Creighton, who pleaded guilty on the first day of the nine-week trial, Timothy Raggatt QC told the court his plea had been had been a ‘tactical’ one.
He said Creighton, accepted by the court as the gunman who fired the fatal shot, had been disguising his appearance in the days leading up to the killing.
When police arrested him in Coventry on August 22 last year, a dummy was recovered – believed to have been used for target practice, the court heard.
Mr Raggatt said: ‘It may not be that it was a matter of chance that the shot that killed Mr Tobin, if it was fired by Creighton, was not just a lucky shot – it may have been a shot he had been practising for some time.’
He added that Creighton, thought to be the president of the South Warwickshire chapter of the Outlaws, was ‘a central figure and a leading light’, both in the motorbike gang and the murder plot.
