Miss Moss and Sabrina Gachette, 25, were outside a takeaway shop, the Woody Grill, with other people when they were shot by two hooded men armed with a sub-machine gun and a shotgun. | |
'Lying scumbag' | |
Miss Moss was shot in the heart and died in hospital. Miss Gachette was hit in the back by more than 50 pellets, but survived. | |
The court heard the gunmen had wanted to hit members of the south Kilburn Gang who were also outside the shop. | |
Hussain discharged the Mac 10 "spray and pray" machine gun six times on the crowd and James fired both barrels of the shotgun, at near point-blank range, before fleeing in a car driven by Warren. | |
During the court case security had to be increased when Warren gave evidence after he implicated Hussain and James in the shooting but denied his own involvement, saying he was just there to do a drug deal. | |
In return, Hussain and James said Warren was a "dirty lying scumbag" who had only named them to protect the real killers. | |
A fourth defendant - Simon Baptiste, 29, from Cricklewood - was convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm, between 22 August and 25 August last year. |
