A cannabis dealer—who described himself in court as a “knight in shining armour”—and his girlfriend have been convicted of murder after she claimed a man she had a one-night stand with had raped her.

Michael Hillier, 39, and Rachel Fulstow, 37, were both found guilty on Wednesday of the murder of 38-year-old Liam Smith, who was shot and then had sulphuric acid poured on him at his home in Wigan, Greater Manchester, on Nov. 24, 2022.
