A man gunned down at a Bradford caf would have struggled to get away before dying from blood loss, a Court heard.

Destor Coleman, also known as Dexter and 'X', died on July 14 last year after receiving a single gun-shot wound to his back. The 27-year-old from West Bowling was fatally injured outside the Young Lion Cafe in Lumb Lane during a disturbance.

A jury at Leeds Crown Court heard forensic pathologist Dr Guy Rutty tell how Mr Coleman would not have died instantly.

"In this case, the deceased was shot but he would not have died instantaneously," he said. "The passage of the projectile through the body would result in damage to the blood vessels that are present within the lung and these would bleed.

"He would have bled - and did bleed - into his chest cavity. Initially he was conscious and able to move. Within a short period of time he would have begun to feel the effects of substantial blood loss and eventually would have been overcome by this blood loss, become unconscious and eventually would have died."

Dr Rutter said his examination of Mr Coleman's body showed that the bullet had entered his back and exited through the right side of his chest, damaging his lung, rib cage and tissue. He added that the passage of the bullet resulted in a substantial degree of bleeding in the chest - around one litre in total.

The court later heard evidence from forensic scientist Louisa May who examined a baseball bat found near the scene of Mr Coleman's shooting.

She concluded that there was "strong support" to suggest that glass found embedded in cuts in the baseball bat had originated from the laminated glass counter in a nearby bookmakers.

She did not, however, find any traces of glass on a pair of trainers which belonged to one of the defendants, Mohammed Raja.

Safdar Khan, 23, of Tile Street, Girlington, denies murdering Mr Coleman. He also denies violent disorder along with Mohammed Shaffi, 26, of Whetley Grove, Yousuf Khan, 26, also of Tile Street, both Girlington, Adelso Saws, 20, of Grange View, Chapeltown, Leeds, and Mohammed Raja, 22, of Park-side Road, West Bowling.

Shaffi further denies attempting to murder O'Neil Giscombe and Raja has pleaded not guilty to robbery.

The trial continues.
