John Pordage, 34, Dies In Pointless Shooting At Petrol Station

Electrician John Pordage, 34, died in August after the shooting at a BP garage in Chelmsford.

Two teenage boys are on trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, where one of them faces a murder charge.

The court heard how Mr Pordage and a friend compared a third teenage boy, Bradley Blundell, 18, to the chocolate bar mascot.

Mr Blundell, who was 17 at the time, is accused of shooting Mr Pordage dead, but the court heard he has not been arrested and is on the run from police.

The court heard Mr Pordage and his friend, who were at the petrol station buying cigarettes and fizzy drinks following a night out in Chelmsford on 5 August, also made flirtatious remarks about a girl before the shooting.

The girl was part of the group of five teenagers who were at the garage fuelling a Ford Fiesta.

Prosecutor Tracy Ayling QC said: "Further comments were made, this time towards the males in the back [of the car], particularly in reference to Bradley Blundell.

"Reference was made to him looking like the Milkybar Kid. It may well be that that remark was the catalyst for what followed."

An eyewitness was able to get a photo of the shooting on his cellphone:

Going out on a limb and saying the old vic brought it on himself.
Had he not been trying to hit on a young female, insult teen boys and had presence of mind to be aware one might wig out, it might not have happened.
Of special note I would also point out how difficult it is to act tough holding fizzy drinks.

On the other hand Buttons there has great contacts for getting his mitts on a pistol in the UK.
Kid has street cred.
Admittedly too he will get the wrist slap and be home in time for bangers and mash.

No, dude didnt deserve to die. But, he was a dumbass and God's will was done for him in his life.

True, but then I don't think he realised the need to act tough.

A teenager wanted in connection with the death of a man who was shot dead at a petrol station has given himself up in Amsterdam, police have said.

Officers had been searching for Bradley Blundell, 18, since the death of John Pordage at a BP garage in Chelmsford last August.

Mr Blundell handed himself in at a police station in the Dutch city on Saturday evening, Essex Police said.

The force added it was now preparing extradition papers.

Last month, a 16-year-old was sentenced for perverting the course of justice and handling stolen goods. He had been cleared of murder.

His co-defendant Saul Stanley, 18, was jailed for five years at Chelmsford Crown Court after being convicted of four firearms offences and perverting the course of justice.
