During the trial, crown prosecutor David Meredith said all of the people involved were dealers and users of drugs.
The court was told the motive stemmed from a photograph of a smiling Daniels captured on CCTV on 22 January, two days before the murders.
The owner of a convenience store who sold burner phones and purchased drugs from Breton asked him where he sourced his drugs and was told “Islanders”. The owner then sent Daniels’ CCTV image to Breton asking if “that was him”.
Breton replied: “Yes, that’s him.”
Daniels became wary when told about the photo and was convinced he was being set up, the court was told.
