THE man accused of shooting dead T2 Trainspotting star Bradley Welsh had firearm residue in the pocket of his tracksuit bottoms, a murder trial heard.

The court was told police seized North Face bottoms from Sean Orman when he was arrested on April 22, 2019 – five days after Welsh was gunned down in Edinburgh.

Forensic scientist Laura Wilcock said “ firearm discharge residue” found on the clothing could be explained by Orman having fired a gun.

She said sheal so recovered firearm residue from Welsh’s clothing as his body lay outside his basement flat.
