A MAN accused of murdering his ex-wife's new husband yesterday denied his alibi was "rubbish" and "lies".
Allan Kimber, 41, of Stert Street, Abingdon, denies murdering Gary Morgan at Danesbrook Farm, Stanton St John, on October 17 last year.
Mr Morgan, 37, was shot in the neck at about 3.30am, shortly after leaving home.
Kimber was filmed on CCTV leaving his Abingdon flat at about 2am and returning home at about 4am.
He had told the jury at Oxford Crown Court that he went out to meet a man called 'Tosh' to exchange illegal firearms.
The jury heard the two men met at about 2.30am in Barton before driving to a layby on the Eastern bypass and having a brief meeting.
Neil Moore, prosecuting, asked Kimber to explain why, if the deal had only taken minutes, he did not return home until 4am.
Kimber said: "I drove up to Bagley Wood to strip and clean the gun, then returned to my car where I sat reading a magazine, having a cigarette, listening to the radio and just chilling out."
Mr Moore asked: "You just thought you would chill out? Or are you just inventing an account of how you spent your time?"
Kimber said: "No".
Mr Moore said: "It's rubbish, isn't it, Mr Kimber?"
"No," he said.
Mr Moore added: "You knew you would have to account for this time and you're accounting for this by telling this jury lies."
The case continues.
