«Breaking News» Teenager guilty of Chelmsford murder over 'nice bum' comment

CCTV footage shows the final moments of an electrician who was gunned down by a teenage delinquent following a trivial row at a petrol station. 

Bradley Blundell, 18, shot John Pordage, 34, in the chest at a BP garage in Chelmsford, Essex, and was then smuggled to the continent in the boot of a car.

Woolwich Crown Court heard the shooting unfolded after Blundell, together 18-year-old Ella Colgate and two others, stopped to get petrol on August 5 last year.

While filing up a can, Colegate exchanged words with Mr Pordage and his friend Jamal Samuels.

Tracy Ayling QC, prosecuting, said one of the men shouted 'nice bum', as they went to buy cigarettes at the garage's kiosk.

Blundell, seen on CCTV after he went on the run after the attack, was said to have reacted to comments about Ella Colgate (pictured, right)

Blundell, who was described by the other men as looking like 'the Milky Bar Kid', pulled out a .32 calibre revolver and shot Mr Pordage in the chest.

'The reason for the shooting appears to be nothing more than either Mr Pordage or a friend he was with, Jamal Samuels, remarking that Ella Colegate the driver of the car Mr Blundell was in, had a nice bum,' said Ms Ayling.

Blundell, who was 17 at the time, was convicted of murder and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice today after a three-week trial.

Colgate, a care worker, denied conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by contacting a prosecution witness but was also convicted.

This gun was recovered from the scene where electrician Mr Pordage was shot in the chest

Someone in the public gallery shouted: 'Justice' as the verdicts were returned.

A teenage girl, who cannot be named, who was in the blue Ford Fiesta at the time of the shooting, was interviewed by police after the shooting.

She explained there was 'banter' from the men in Mr Pordage's white van on the forecourt and that they were trying to 'chat her and Ella up'.

The girl said Blundell 'did not like this'.

She said one of the two men, either Mr Pordage or Mr Samuels, tapped on the window of the Fiesta and said: 'You're a bit quiet boys, do you want a Milky Bar?'

After the attack, Blundell made his way to Maldon where he burnt his clothes and was then smuggled out of the country in the boot of a car without a passport.

He travelled to France, Germany and Holland before handing himself in to police in Amsterdam on 31 March this year.

Wanted posters were made after Blundell went on the run in France, Holland and Germany

Detectives says killer had 'extreme reaction to a trivial matter'

Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Martin Pasmore said after the hearing: 'Blundell is a dangerous young man who used extreme violence in reaction to what was a trivial matter and left a man dying in the street.

'He was careful and calculated in how he planned his attempt to escape from justice.

'He sought the help of his associates to smuggle himself out of the country and went to great lengths to leave no trace of his movements.

'Blundell tried to convince the jury he did not shoot John Pordage and fled because he was petrified of being arrested for a crime he did not commit. But they have seen through his concoction of lies.'

Giving evidence, Blundell admitted hitting Mr Pordage with a cosh but claimed his friend, who cannot be named, fired the fatal shot.

He said he didn't see the gun and only heard the shots, but admitted fleeing the country because he was 'terrified'.

Colgate had initially denied lying in her police interview to help Blundell.

But the teenager admitted she lied because she was 'panicking' and 'scared' after witnessing the incident.

She said the first time she saw the gun was when he burnt his clothes after the shooting.

Colgate denied she was ever in a relationship with Blundell but said they had been good friends since they were at school.

Judge Charles Gratwicke adjourned sentence but said: 'Bradley Blundell have been convicted of the vicious murder of John Pordage.

'I'm not going to pass sentence on you today. You should prepare yourself for a life sentence.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
