York woman charged with murder after fatal shooting and acid attack

A York woman has been charged with murder after a man was subjected to an acid attack and fatally shot last year.

Rachel Fulstow, 37, of Andrew Drive, York, has been detained on charges of murder and perverting the course of justice following the death of Liam Smith in November, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Officers found Mr Smith’s body at the bottom of his driveway on Kilburn Drive in Shevington, Wigan, at about 7pm on 24 November.

Ms Fulstow will appear in court later today.

A GMP spokesperson said: “She has since been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Tameside Magistrates on Thursday 23 February 2023.

“Liam’s family continue to be supported by specially-trained officers and are aware of the progress being made in this investigation.”

Michael Hillier of Ecclesall Road, Sheffield, was charged with murder last month.
