Photographs show at least 11 bullet holes in the windscreen of the silver Toyota Yaris sedan and one in the bonnet.

Staggie’s daughter, Ingrid Carolus, appeared outside Staggie’s house in London Road about two hours after the shooting screaming: “He’s dead, he’s dead!”

“He couldn’t have survived, that car is riddled with bullets,” one officer at the crime scene said.
