Prison officer shot in 'revenge plot' at HMP Altcourse, jury hears

After the shooting, the killer fled on an electric bike which had earlier been left on the Daybrook housing estate, close to the gym, in the back of a white van.

The prosecution claims the van had been transported there on a low-loader truck driven by Mr Cleary, who left it there for Mr Morgan to collect.

Mr Morgan then drove himself to the estate in a Mercedes GLC car insured in his mother's name, parked up and collected the bike, the jury heard.

Alex Leach KC, prosecuting, suggested the shooting was motivated by a search Mr Scott had carried out of Mr Morgan's cell on 26 March 2020, when he found the \"incriminating\" iPhone containing evidence of the affair with Ms Williams.

The jury heard Mr Scott refused Mr Morgan's offer of £1,500 not to submit the phone to his superiors.

Mr Leach said the inmate then \"went to very considerable lengths to threaten harm to Lenny Scott and his family\" if he handed the phone over.

\"For his part, Lenny Scott was not to be deterred,\" Mr Leach said.

\"He submitted the telephone and prosecutions followed. Elias Morgan told Lenny Scott that he would get him, he said he would bide his time, but that he would get him.\"
