Shahzad s lawyers argued that he only acted to defend Fitzsimmons, who at the time was heavily pregnant with their child.
The court heard how Mr Butt and his wife lived in the flat above the family business Mazammal Halal Meats, run by Shahzad, with their rent and bills covered by income from the butchers.
