A former member of Pathways International Church broke down in court while recounting how the church’s now-deceased leader, Dr Kevin Smith, allegedly shot him twice in the back and then told him he could not die.

The witness, whose name is being withheld by order of the judge, sobbed openly while testifying in the murder trial of Andre Ruddock.

He was given a short break to compose himself before continuing his testimony.
