Mike began to wonder what was taking so long and opened the door, knocking Tommo and causing him to shoot Ernie. In the ensuing confusion, Dave grabbed the wage packets and both men escaped the factory long before the police arrived. Ernie later died in hospital from his wounds. Dave and Tommo were apprehended by the police within days and charged with Ernie's murder. Just before the trial, Dave's mother plead with Mike, the key prosecution witness, that the shooting was an accident. According to Mrs Lester, Dave was a good lad who'd never said a cross word to her, but Mike didn't yield. Both men were given life sentences.
