Chilling moment gunman in high-vis jacket shoots dead dad-of-3 outside gym ‘in revenge for exposing illicit jail affair’


THIS is the chilling moment a gunman wearing a high-vis jacket shoots dead a dad-of-three.

A jury was shown CCTV footage revealing Lenny Scott’s last moments before he was killed outside a Lancashire gym on February 8 last year.

The haunting clip shows the 33-year-old leaving the building, in Skelmersdale, at around 7.30pm.

He walks out with four others, who make their way to a car parked outside.

Ex-prison guard Lenny stays behind for a few moments chatting to his pal, as a man wearing a high-vis jacket advances in the back ground.

The attacker briefly hangs back behind a car before approaching Lenny and calmly raising his gun.

As the CCTV cuts off, six shots can be heard, and the gunman flees on an electric bike to a getaway van nearby.

Prosecutors allege Elias Morgan, 35, of Edge Hill in Liverpool, was the shooter.

They also argue Anthony Cleary, 29, was the getaway driver inside the white Vauxhall Combo – previously registered to a cleaning company run by Morgan’s brother Ezra Morgan.

The pair are both on trial for murder, which the prosecution argue was fuelled by revenge after Lenny exposed his affair with a female prison guard.

Lenny had confiscated a phone which contained evidence of the lag’s relationship with prison officer Sarah Williams.

Alex Leach KC, prosecuting, told the jury evidence “presented a powerful image”.

“One in which Elias Morgan, driven by a desire for revenge and reliant on Anthony Cleary for his assistance, planned and executed the murder of Lenny Scott,” he said.

The court heard how before the horror, Mr Morgan had allegedly driven to Darfield estate, a site not too far from the murder scene.

He travelled there in a Mercedes GLC car which had previously been insured in his mother’s name, the court heard.

Mr Leach told the jury the car arrived at 5.48pm.

CCTV revealed a figure walking from Darfield to nearby Daybrook estate, where the van had been parked about 40 minutes earlier.

The jury heard at 6.06pm, footage showed the bike doing a “dry run” to the gym and back to the estate.

The gunman returned to the car park at 6.48pm, where he waited for Lenny to exit the gym.

The trial continues.
