Koci Selamaj was sentenced to 36 years for the sexually motivated murder of the 28-year-old school teacher, who he targeted as she walked alone through Cator Park in south-east London, in September 2021. The killing sparked outrage from campaigners and politicians, who said there was an 'epidemic' of violence against women following a spate of high-profile femicides as the 'say her name' hashtag trended on social media. And it later emerged that the police were warned about Selamaj three days before he murdered the innocent primary school teacher. The Albanian national has now admitted to attacking two prison officers just a year into his sentence which began in April, 2022.

Dave Courtney told (or more often sold) countless self-glamorizing tales of underworld derring-do during his long and lucrative career as a celebrity gangster. For those who doubted their authenticity, one outlandish escapade is long in the memory. The scene outside Amsterdam, to which our anti-hero, who is now in his muscle-bound prime, has been ordered to cancel a big-money contract with his shady bosses in London.

Dave Courtney, the late reformed gangster, said he was unafraid of dying just two months ago, boasting that 'I am the f***** afterlife.' According to friends, the rebel, 64, was discovered dead on Sunday with a shot to the head. The 'unexplained death' at his house is being investigated by police. And, although the former killer did not look forward to death, he would embrace it, according to a podcast interview in August.

Dave Courtney, who wore a smart suit and often with a mischievous grin on his face, became the face of old school London gangsters in recent years. The 64-year-old turned his back on the world of crime and became a reformed figure, appearing in gritty films or public appearances. However, the police were never far away, always carrying him to court over weapons at his beloved Camelot Castle in south east London.

Dave Courtney, an East End gangster, died in bed after a late night drink session. In his legendary Camelot Castle pad, the hardman, 64, who was the inspiration for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' memorable Little Chris enforcer, died early in his life. He was discovered by his companion and lodger, Brendan, in his south-east London home.

Courtney, 64, had been up until 4 a.m. after a "night of drinking," only to be discovered seven hours later by Brendan's companion and lodger, Brendan, who had shot dead in his south-east London home (left). On his X page this afternoon, he said he "tragically took his own life" at his Plumstead home "with a rifle." Scotland Yard is looking at his 'unexpected' death. No arrests have been made. Courtney had been seen less than 24 hours earlier and was all smiles as he watched his beloved Charlton Athletic defeat Reading 4-0 in a League One match.

Dave Courtney, a celebrity turned actor who referred to himself as 'the most afraid man in Britain,' has died at the age of 64. He was all smiles as he watched his beloved Charlton Athletic (middle image) just hours before he shot himself dead at his London home. The Addicks defeated Reading 4-0 in League One on Tuesday, with a 'full works' three-course meal at The Valley. Courtney appeared in a white shirt, blue waistcoat, and red tie as he posed and chatted with colleagues, as shown by the touching Facebook story. 'An wat a cool, rainy day it's all turning out to be.' After shooting himself, Courtney was discovered dead at his 'Camelot House' home in south-east London just hours later. He was one of Britain's most popular London East End hardmen, including Krays, Roy Shaw, and Lenny McLean.

Eliza Harrison was given a keepsake by which she could recall the man she now knows is her father. It was one of his signature bow ties, plucking from a box of his possessions that had not been opened in decades. 'It was filthy,' she says. 'I washed his tie,' I thought.' She holds up the green, silk scarf from her late father's extensive collection. It's pristine. It will be much more difficult to start freshening his tarnished image. Not that she knew it when she was alive, but she did not know it when she was alive, but her father, Edinburgh-born Lord Bob Boothby, was a looty comedian, television host, and, in the estimation of his second cousin, Sir Ludovic Kennedy, 'a sh*t of the highest order,'. The Queen Mother's review was more forgiving. Boothby once said that she was "a cad but not a bounder."

Stop Stop Oil activists said last night that they were celebrating 'a big win' after a group of more than 120 top lawyers said they did not prosecute 'peaceful' climate protesters. The eco-campaigners said the declaration could prove a useful tactic in court against prosecutors, who they could ask: 'You have colleagues who are refusing to prosecute - why are you prosecuting me?' As the Daily Mail announced yesterday, a group called 'Lawyers are Responsible' has signed a statement announcing that they will not prosecute climate activists. Top lawyers, including founding Jolyon Maugham of the Good Law Project, have signed the petition. Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC, chairman of the Human Rights Institute, Michael Mansfield KC, and Professor Leslie Thomas KC are among the many major backers, although Professor Thomas said he will continue to follow the 'cab rank' rule. Activists display a banner outside the Inner London Crown Court earlier this month.

Zoe Progl (left), a notorious burglar, broke into her first house at the age of 13 and went on to become the first female prisoner to leap over the wall in north London. Eva Fraser (inset) - the sister of notorious gangster Mad Frankie Fraser, was allegedly one of the last Queens of the Forty Thief shoplifting crew, which sold stolen items from Selfridges to poor South London housewives. Shirley Pitts (right), a leading shoplifter, started stealing coal to survive the slums of Waterloo, but soon became so prolific and good at theft that she was barred from many West End shops. The women's exploits inspired author BEEZY MARSH's latest book Queen of Clubs, which will be published later this month.

The day she was admitted to Broadmoor, June Gibbons dressed with care. Jennifer, her twin sister, and she were ecstatic to be admitted to the notorious hospital for the criminally insane. The girls had just pleaded guilty to a five-week jail term in West Wales, with 16 counts of burglary, stealing, and arson. To say that they were troubled teens was merely describing how odd and anti-social they were: the overwhelming majority of people found them scary, even sinister. The twins' relationship to Broadmoor was by no means the only unusual feature of the 19-year-olds: from the start of childhood, they had refused to meet - even with members of their own families. The Silent Twins, as they became known, lived in a strange, turbulent place in which they were completely entwined.
