A FORMER soap star was part of a gang which lured a father-of-one to his death, a Liverpool court heard.
Brian Regan, 53, who played Terry Sullivan in Channel 4’s Brookside for 14 years, drove alleged gunman Edward Heffey to and from the scene of the fatal shooting of Bahman Faraji, 44, the city’s Crown Court was told.
Mr Faraji, a nightclub doorman, was gunned down at close range as he stood outside the Belgrave public house in the Aigburth suburb of the city on the evening of February 24 this year.
Regan, of St Mary’s Road, Liverpool, denies murder alongside Heffey, 40, of Beloe Street; Lee Dodson, 42, of Logfield Drive, and Simon Smart, 32, of Kylemore Way, also Liverpool. Opening the case for the prosecution, Brian Cummings, QC, said Mr Faraji was killed by Heffey after Dodson enlisted Regan’s help.
