Stafford Crown Court was told Stephen McHugh purchased the gold Volvo S60 on September 26, only 12 days before he hit 'innocent bystander' Rebecca Steer of Llanymynech, Wales, in Oswestry last year.
An Oswestry man who is accused of having used his "car as a weapon" to plough into a group of young people outside a town centre takeaway, had owned the vehicle for just over a week before he killed a 22-year-old woman, a court has heard.Rebecca Steer died after being hit is Oswestry town centre on October 9
McHugh, 28, of Artillery Road, Park Hall, has admitted killing Miss Steer and seriously injuring Kyle Roberts outside the Grill Out in Willow Road at around 3am on October 9, but denies murder and GBH. Mr Gumbley told the court he had been in the car twice with McHugh since they had purchased the vehicle, but added that the defendant was a"fast" and unsafe driver.
The court also heard from Ian Humphries, a Civilian Vehicle Examiner at West Mercia Police, who said the Volvo had been discovered to be mechanically sound following its recovery after the October 9 incident, with no defects found in either its brakes or steering system.
