EX-SOLDIER `EXECUTED' IN NIGHTCLUB, COURT TOLD

 Two men today went on trial accused of the "execution"
of a former soldier they blamed for the murder of a friend.
 
 Shane Heskey and James Goodman are alleged to have shot
ex-squaddie Jason Hill in the back of the head from inches
away in the early hours of last Christmas Day.
 
 The bullet went through his head before exiting and
hitting another man, Carlton Mills, in the stomach. The
shooting took place in Leicester nightclub, The Eden.
 
 Heskey and Goodman both deny murder, and Goodman also
denies the attempted murder of Mr Mills.
 
 Anthony Barker QC, prosecuting, told Nottingham Crown
Court that Heskey and Goodman believed Mr Hill had murdered
their friend Eugene Hind in 1995.
 
 Mr Hill was acquitted of the offence in 1996 but, the
prosecution said, it was generally believed in Leicester
that he had been responsible.
 
 "We say this was a joint enterprise in which the defendants
had planned what to do and did it," said Mr Barker.
 
 "Mr Hill was at the club and was being aggressive,
arguing and shouting, but that of course is no
justification for killing someone."
 
 He said Heskey, 28, of Filbert Street East, Leicester,
and Goodman, 23, of no fixed abode, had seen Mr Hill at
the club and had left to collect a gun each.
 
 When they returned, said Mr Barker, Goodman shot Mr Hill
while Heskey was seen struggling with another man over
the second gun nearby.
 
 After the shooting Heskey and Goodman walked away from
the club but were followed by the injured man, Mr Mills.
 
 It is alleged Heskey took both guns away and neither
have ever been recovered.
