A man has been found not guilty of murdering a Liverpool businessman.

Jason Osu, 31, was shot seven times in November 2012 in Beauclair Drive, Wavertree, and died seven days later.

Liverpool man Paul Woodford, 50, was also cleared at Manchester Crown Court of attempting to murder Darren Alcock and conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to cause fear of violence.

Three men were given life sentences in April 2014 for Mr Osu's murder as he parked at his house in Liverpool.

George McGovern and Thomas White - both from Sefton - and Paul Croxton were jailed in what police called a "complex and challenging case".
