Club gunman faces life jail

A GUNMAN faces life imprisonment at the Old Bailey today for shooting dead a teenage girl on a nightclub dance floor.

Illegal immigrant Triston Walker, 22, had been bragging and posing with the gun in his waistband before opening fire on a female dance group called The X Squad in June 2007.

Annaka Pinto, 17, of Upper Edmonton, was shot in the head as she danced at the crowded event in Tottenham. She died in hospital hours later.

Walker, of Tottenham, had smuggled the gun into the Swan where the X Squad was performing to take revenge in a dispute between the girls and the sister of his girlfriend, Simone Manning.

Walker was convicted of murder yesterday.
