A robber has admitted picking up a gunman moments after a nine-year-old girl was shot in the head at a Turkish restaurant in a drive-by shooting.
The victim had been sitting inside Evin restaurant in Hackney, east London, with family members at 9.19pm on May 29 last year when she was hit by a stray bullet as the gunman on a stolen Ducati Monster motorbike fired six shots at three men.
She survived but will suffer 'physical and cognitive difficulties throughout her life' after the bullet lodged in her brain.
The prosecution has alleged the shooting was a 'planned assassination' amid an ongoing clash between rival gangs, the Tottenham Turks and the Hackney Turks, also known as the 'Bombacilars'.
It is claimed the men at the restaurant - Mustafa Kiziltan, Kenan Aydogdu and Nasser Ali - were affiliated with the Hackney Turks and the ones who had allegedly ordered the shooting were from the Tottenham Turks.
