A double murderer who gunned down a mother-of-nine and her nephew received more than £600,000 of taxpayers' money in legal aid across five trials, it has emerged.
Revolver-wielding Obina Ezeoke snuck into a family home and executed Bervil Kalikaka-Efoko, 21 and his aunt Annie Efoko, 53, four years ago in north London.
He blasted Bervil in the head at point blank range as he slept before shooting his aunt in the chest, killing two innocent people in a botched revenge attempt.
It took an unprecedented five trials before Ezeoke was jailed for double murder last month, having run up a staggering £603,587 legal aid bill.
