Young witness: Boy, nine, tells of killer with 'eyes like a hawk'

Jordan Williams was out with his mother in Seascale when he witnessed Bird shooting cyclist Michael Pike, 64, on Wednesday.

The boy also heard Bird fire the shot that killed Jane Robinson, 66.

He said: "I just saw a man just coming up the hill on his bike and then a crazy, like, taxi just came up and shot his back wheel and then shot him in the cheek and then he just drove off.

"He stared me in the eyes, and my mum, and he just kept on driving and he just zoomed off."

Although the incident lasted only seconds, Jordan said: "It did seem a very long time. Then he just shot off down the road ... then he shot somebody else up there."

Jordan recalled: "He looked a bit mad. He had his eyes like a hawk staring at something."

Father Andy said Jordan had a narrow escape.
