An alleged gunman accused of gunning down an underworld 'Mr Big' and a mob 'fixer' was linked to the double hit by his fitness tracker, a court heard yesterday.
Mark Fellows, 38, is accused jointly with Steven Boyle, 35, of shooting dead Paul Massey, 55, from Salford and his friend, John Kinsella, 53, from Liverpool, during a feud between rival gangs.
Police investigating the Kinsella murder seized a Garmin Forerunner watch belonging to Fellows. The watch is a type of watch worn by keen runners and cyclists which has a GPS function enabling routes run and cycled to be recorded, along with other information such as pace and distance.

When detectives analysed the watch it showed a few months before the murder of Paul Massey, the wearer of the watch had travelled a route from his home to the area behind the church in which the killer lay in wait for his victim on July, 26, 2015.
It showed, police say, Fellows on a 'reconnaissance run' for the 'stone cold murder'.
Fellows and Boyle both deny the murders and the attempted murder of Wendy Owen, Kinsella's partner.
They sat in the dock, surrounded by six prison officers, today as around 15 relatives of Mr Massey and Mr Kinsella sat just yards away from the dock in the public gallery.
The two victim each had a 'serious criminal history' and were 'notorious' within gangland in Liverpool and Manchester, Liverpool crown court heard yesterday.
Prosecutor Paul Greaney QC told the jury Massey was murdered in July 2015 and Kinsella almost three years later in May, 2018.
He said: 'They were friends and associates. Moreover, each was well known, if not notorious, within the gangland of the North West and both men undoubtedly had enemies.
'Their undoing has to do with events in the city of Salford, where serious violence broke out between two criminal gangs in 2015.'
The first gang was headed by a man named Michael Carroll, the jury heard, with Fellows and Boyle associated with that group.
The second rival gang, which called itself 'the A Team', was headed by a man named Stephen Britton. Paul Massey was associated with that gang and was regarded by Stephen Britton as a mentor and in turn, John Kinsella was strongly associated with Paul Massey.
Around 7.30pm on July 26, 2015, Massey parked his BMW car outside his home in Clifton, Salford, and walked up the driveway of his home. As he did so, a gunman lying in wait, followed him, firing an Uzi sub-machine gun, killing his victim, before fleeing the scene.
Two men go on trial at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday over the murder of two gangland figures
Police were unable to charge anyone with murder until earlier this year when Kinsella was killed.
At about 6.45am on May 5, Kinsella set out on his usual morning walk with his partner Wendy Owen and their dogs on a country lane near their home in Rainhill, St Helens.
A man, allegedly Fellows, cycled up behind them on a mountain bike and blasted Kinsella twice in the back with a handgun.
He fell face down as Wendy Owen 'charged' at him but the gunman then turned the gun on her, shooting, and she fled onto the hard shoulder of the M62 before flagging down a passing vehicle.
Fellows then calmly cycled nearer to Kinsella and shot him twice to the back of the head, the jury heard.
But, Mr Greaney continued: 'Unlike three years earlier, on this occasion, the killer was undone.'
The jury heard CCTV evidence showed the gunman had cycled from the area of Fellows's home in Warrington.
Evidence suggested Boyle had acted as a 'spotter' who positioned his Renault Clio so he could see Kinsella and Ms Owen approaching.
Mr Greaney said there were 'clear parallels' that suggested the same killers carried out both murders.
The defendants were driven into Liverpool Crown Court amid tight security yesterday morning
Mr Greaney told the jury a painstaking review of CCTV systems was critical in the investigation and was to 'unlock the case' as it showed Boyle and Fellows in the area at the time of the murder.
Ms Owen told police the gunman was slim and wearing a hi-vis jacket and black combat trousers but she was unable to clearly see his face because he was wearing a black snood and baseball cap.
Boyle and Fellows had made the same journey six days earlier, on April 29, only for Boyle to arrive too late to perform his role of spotter and the planned 'assassination' was aborted on that occasion.
Their plan was thwarted by the simple fact Kinsella and Ms Owen had set off on their walk earlier than the killers had expected, Mr Greaney said.
Fellows told police the two men met there to arrange a drug deal.
The two spent 12 minutes together according to the CCTV footage, 'discussing what had gone wrong with their plan to kill' Mr Greaney said.
At the time Fellows was working night shifts but was free to return to the murder plot six days later on May 5.
Fellows and Boyle set off on the same route much earlier that day to be in wait for their prey, the court heard.
The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.

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.
