on camera to tell how things happened and why on an old man now but like I sure establish as well as anybody else my name is burning over homie I was a friend of the Criterion's and a key member of the Essex boys firm and everyone seems to think guides thanks they read actual killings of them now he's got killer the right driver and this was something that Damon tried to impress see what it's big lot a I know this world I know these faces and I'm going to take you on a journey into the heart of the underworld I'm shuttle door chair battered comes out a mere constantly just three days and non-stop beatings and torture but he's not dead no it's not that it's not that yep this guy always always finishes [Music] welcome to Essex Britain's gangland frontier two of the county's more infamous villains are brothers Eddie and Billy Blundell deemed to be more dangerous than the Kray brothers the Blundell's are the most powerful figures in the region when a leading member of a notorious gang assaulted their cousin Pepe there was only ever going to be one response extreme violence we had cousin Pepe he's the runway this used to work with us full-time he got involved with with a woman who was related by marriage to somebody else he had already cleared it with him because they weren't together but of course this other guy was one of the end of a lot which I'll call him and he was as nice as pie but of course in Monday when he's pissed he decided to spank Pepe so I decided to spank him and then that kicked off a little bit and anyway they they went after Pepe one night fired a shot a hemp pistol through the front door about ed court was at 7th Avenue they fired through they didn't get him he'd run straight upstairs and it was dark I don't think I mean they just fired through the door and that and then there was a bit of an argument between me and them across the road a few days later and again when they come back from the pub drunk trying about because pity apparently supposed to my des statement which I knew yet but I said I made a statement [ __ ] off piss off out of it ok one night we're out with it they volunteered a pub yeah the volunteer so we're there what five six handed took back their little firm come in again four or five ended and we weren't worried about them just [ __ ] drunkards you know and that was it so we're talking wherever they laughed they said any other one of them come over we'll share any boy what's happening about this statement that we've made I said listen all right he's made no [ __ ] statement all right no [ __ ] statement at all yeah well we've got a [ __ ] anyway started getting into one Billy reacted before I didn't smash the glass in his face called his neck and that there and that he just bounced him all around the floor I didn't interfere none of my legs they're doing their fear but what we didn't have a chance to react because he took over straightaway he just went in with crash bang wallop knocked him all over the floor and when he got out we didn't know who hit him he said no son no he's a new deadly boy didn't I make the little one down there and then that kicked off again about month later again me and him are doing the books at the end of the season in our office for one seventh Avenue knock at the door drunk our selves from across the road Freight on the floor I'll kick 200 bucks I gave him a swift kick and that was that then I went out of the door then we'll she was there with the knife and there was about three others and with that Billy started putting some bits and pieces about smashed that window should have going to add smash there when they're over the road but he tried to do one of them in the doorway and done the winter instead anyway they decided then they couldn't handle it so they backed off bare-knuckle boxer Donny the bull Adams was known as the king of the gypsies however he lost his crown when he fought cry associate Roy pretty boy Shaw in a bet that lasted less than 20 seconds Adams was to lose a lot more than his crown when he took on the Blundell's we were based at the room at the top and we also had a spine air camp who was telling us what was going on marking our cards and we knew that they were getting a team up Donny out of this was one of them we got kept office in Alfred and so Billy went and told up himself we sent a couple of our soldiers and they went and told out so I'm waiting in there Billy come back they're blanks turned out with the guns as they pulled up outside the other firm pulled up at the same time believe my talking to him believe it talking to him our driver and he saw him get him over so of course he comes straight back into the office for they mark me card that they're here the other two got out the car to fight them but of course they didn't have the guns women when they go out the car they didn't realize the other team was already told yeah a shots way off in the street yeah one of them one of their guys took off with their I think it's a big Humber head didn't he yeah he took off up the long wide pavement along the road with the other one Kenney lying across the pond it holding on it's good away from the shoe in a net but of course we're in the minicab office they're outside they're told they're told have just drove off Billy's okay he's got a shotgun but it's in his car and it's round the side street so when we've gone when we've gone back in the office we can't go out the front because they're armed so we go out the back I'm too fat to get over the fence that was Johnny Ferry we lifted Billy over the fence Billy went and got his shotgun he came in they never came in through the back Johnny fair we were at him with a big ashtray and I think the only reason he shot us really I think he panicked you know he just went bump I caught one in the leg Johnny fear he got a ricochet in the arm then I could hear shooting outside me and Donnie Adams had a confrontation because that by and I didn't even know me probably been shot then anyway I've cracked on Adams but about the rifle by held the rifle like a club by the end of the barrel and clubbed him right on the head with it and he just shook his head so I turned it around and went to shoot him and he took off dived into the cab officer shot him in the back as he went through in the end they've used ammonia to blind him and get near him and obviously you see the scars on the face we arrived at the hospital I go in on the trolley they hand me over to a matron who looks after me while they get the operating theatre ready I've lost eight pints and that was it Billy Blundell was charged with attempted murder during his Old Bailey trial he told the jury that he had acted in self-defense and was found not guilty having gun battles in a public street inevitably led to the police wanting to curtail the Blundell's activities whilst incarcerated he made some prison Billy fell out with a fellow inmate the inmate was a close friend of one of the UK's most feared families and so Billy was warned to back down you had this guy they are dougie Weaver his name was and supposed to be the right pal of Patsy Adams you know everybody had to keep clear with him supposably we've I starts mouthing off to me so I'll just give it to him on your crack and you know I come up like a lock and ink no I just passed him got I got arrested and I got putting the the block what they called the block at a time and then Patsy Adams made himself busy and he's supposed to be the big shot in a tall robe so full of himself you won't believe these brothers were supposed to be doing this and doing that which they probably were never wealthy people I don't know nothing about them so I can't say no about him they him I know because I've driven for four years and you know you get to know someone you get to know beloved earn half sold or not a nice arse on tone he's an [ __ ] he's running around with someone who crossed me up arm in arm by stalking this calling this one a girl's a night and he's walking around with one on the exercise you know and anyway I hear that he's busy in himself so some certainly built down guard bitching because he's gonna be Tanner to him waiting for your sitter I'm not kind of live from that [ __ ] he's coming with a load of lovers and he went to me yeah blunder he said he said you want a round and then went love threw a punch like my sister could have done bare so I slipped son do it I'll give it to him el buddy's head down and just keep punching him and everybody else just trying to jump on me back and all that and then I got punched more people than I and then I tie them everyone round me but then when some of the black boys then go involved I'd run like rounds anyway so with their petty room the next day I'll send Ricky Ricky curly up to can see him to tell him that if he really fancies having a round well have it there put bad gloves on some I can twist barring they can go up on the wall bars we can have it there they send a message but I know it's all over now I knew it would be all right look in front of his own shadow by the look of him you know and you'd like a beanpole you know so anyway that's that's my run-in with the so called Petzi Adams the ATM I keep calling me ourselves team I don't know him but to him I dunno because then it cuz we can he's a complete like because he gets out of prison and it goes I'll give it a blundering Mason and half hour late he was shipped out still there two years after he'd left so you know just just lies next time I'll soon visit might soon I'm German the chumps from prison Hobbs on remand and he was in there Patsy Adams I said I Billy progress it right I promise me you and my son didn't I I said if I got a problem with you here he said you if you want it so I'll get between I mean bad bang bang and done the same thing you old he's in down because he couldn't fight just puts his hands out Chloe sigh dude I ain't got no spirit I got my knowledge just giving it to him anyway I got arrested again one an old man now but I could shoot stabbed as well as anybody else Lu Yates had arrived in London during the seventies to fight bare-knuckle legend Roy Shaw but delays surrounding the belt resulted in him trying to maintain order in the jungle that was the Essex nightclub scene I was living in Lancashire and I heard on the radio that Roy Shaw wanted to fight anybody in the country so I fancied that and so I wrongly made off in London in Essex for his gay and kiddie gait saw it out I'll come down tomorrow and fight you tomorrow so I was really fit and everything so anyway he said yeah come down we will be a sauce out that quick so I come down to London and melt 76 I think he was and but I couldn't when I got down there I realized that it's worth 10 grand backing and all this suddenly which I didn't have and I started working on the doors I started with a room at his shop in Ilford working on the Peter Kosta and I worked there for about four and a half years one night there was a bit of a do it it ended at night and then they all started police lock because there's a lot in there Billy's old village blokes who works on the ice cream vans and well that's half of crap anyway any dough I'll do I'll do him Billy he's a damn bomb and then I got Dougal Mogami age split me head down to the school and I went loopy then absolutely I feel about sorry I nearly doing Billy and about seven or mile together and even in the lift I was up after the big fellas with a knife they're all pulling back you just see their eyes and lungs were saying hold him falling holding me back he's cocky like through I used to work with and work out with enough another club Lou Yates worked out was the tricks in Dagenham where he gave the notorious West Ham United football hooligan Canton leach his first job working the doors I was on the door at the tracks and then this young guy come up to the door asked about any work and all that and I said well I'll try out which I always did give you a couple of weeks here we go and then suddenly record said that he was Andy and all this and the other I saw I put him on the door and he works on the door for a while for me but I want to remember one instance and even remember this there was a big crowd on a pavement was driving with and the bouncy one come to ours Carlton Alton had a duster on told him it's pretty even like he had two miles and Kelton used to block Covey on walking toward him so I went in between them so I said to him now [ __ ] off I said because there I see you've got to sleep and she I said you spitting blood on me now you spitting blood on me stop bang he's gone and I've turned to Carlton said that's how you do it cow in the 1980s and underground youth movements grew into a cultural phenomenon that would change Britain's underworld forever I see - music was founded by DJ's in Chicago and soon spread to the UK the new music scene was fuelled by the equally new love drug ecstasy a pioneer of the rave generation was a man named Andy swallow he had been one of the leading members of West Ham United's football hooligans who became known as the inter city firm my journey into house music probably come around about 87 88 when I come out of the football at one of the biggest gangs the inter city firm we moved over from sort of football into parties one of our first biggest parties was in Stratford we found a big warehouse tidied it up it was a proper mist big cages in there and I remember putting on a pot and a little flyer did a little flyer nedda a car drawn car going over a bridge through all the clubs that night I had one doorman who took the money and my friend's mom live round the corner and we had over 5,000 people there and every our for now we've got her else and she told us the next day well she could hear all through the night was fun and that was the money in the floor and in the morning she woke up and she found these stacks of envelopes with all this money and over the period we sort of moved out the Blundell's had some land I remember doing a big big party on one of their field somewhere I moved in the south end we did parties in South End we did them in Raley the pink toothbrush I did them all over Essex really we formed a radio station sent a force radio 88.3 which was the biggest independent private pirate radio station pretty much the police become on us because we was the ones telling everybody where to go and I don't mean it telling them where to go we was the information if you had a big party and you want the people around him 25 you come a sinful fray do and we was the biggest sort of party people putting people on insert into raves how did that work it's you know you're on the radio would yapanese MIDI dour own or you would do maybe you know a Woodstock we did it would stop three days in a field basically what happened is around about 9:00 we would promote through today be at such-and-such service stations around the the m25 they all know where to be South Bend was a primary example everybody would be there a number would be given out for them to ring they would even ring that number or we would get told round about 10 o'clock go to distant thing this venue or this area and Bank everybody would converge at the same time in the same place which would be very hard for anybody to slum military operation approximately how many people when we did woods Woodstock we had up to 20,000 you know I know of people that did from 5000 to people to did 30,000 you know I know Tony we did their Sun rises they did the big airfield and they had some about 30,000 so it would be military operation and trying to get five 10,000 20,000 people into an error in an hour that takes up doing and we had to cope with billionth ruining the success of the raves but more so the fact that they would drug-fueled led to the government of the day or during the police to disrupt or preferably close down swallows operation I think as momentum grow and then the the sort like the drug side of it and I think that sided they knew that to get a grip and it become political it became a a political as far as the fetch of bringing a legislation to stop it so from one you know you save one copper turn up in a panda car to riot squads turning up but what we know is for about six seven months we was on constantly day or night we was the only 24 a radio station and we fought this is brilliant you know we were the kings you know we was getting all the advertising we were doing all the parties what we didn't know was the police were doing a seven-month surveillance operation on us so they wanted us there they wanted to see us in action and they watch it for several months which become into a big cold case what was that conspiracy to it was it was it was for the party in which was a new legislation but they done us for racketeering supplying drugs which was to all the clubs we was in court for an eye on a couple of months two months trial was going really well and one of our and one of our people came in and said that one of the jury keeps winking at me on the train I think we've got this and I said listen whether you do don't go near the jury we're winning this trial next day we comes in someone had tampered with a jewelry so I'm saying and if they do laughter spoke to him you must have spoke to him basic and everybody leave the courtroom and said Lisa swallow Selenia dummy for jury Noblin said our tampered with the jewelry but what happened was it was a fellow on another jury he was a jury member but good luck to our jury said oh you on this wall I was trial hey CJ if you get them off you'll get a nice few quid that you remember weren't off but me away for free days while I was trying to find the jury member who'd said it we got let out they did disband a jury and a new retrial but they put half a million powers were for drugs on us but was it on the first trial how Barris has setup stood up and said we can't take this any further it came to like there was a police informer amongst us they wasn't prepared to name the police informer trial collapsed so from there we came out and went another party on the vast amounts of money being made prompted other young entrepreneurs to try and set up similar radio stations and events allegations of former ICF members confiscating transmitters and beating up DJs were made on an almost weekly basis but few if any agreed to assist the police with the emergence of mainstream radio stations like kiss FM the lucrative underground rave movement was slowly turning mainstream simply because of its own success the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher recognizes and saw it was a way of seizing control from the gangs used to bill basically she's done a bit of a smart move well we was becoming uncontrollable you know I'm not just saying us I'm talking about the whole movement and when we talk about it you know it was a massive movement right across the country London was massive and you know Manchester had their own thing but she did this you know to stop us to put us into clubs so basically what they'd done they they they legislated that if he was found you'd be arrested they the equipment would be seized and that's where they've done they got into like cold cops was that her light and saying they're cold cops was my light sound and DJ for 300 quid you know you couldn't get cold calls for 300 quid but at that time he came through with us but what happens with Carl all the others there was confiscating their equipment so there was it in them you so you couldn't put parties on because they take all the equipment away they take all the DJs and where they take all your records away so people didn't want to be doing it and what they've done they push it in the nightclubs and really we thought we'd had a result because we could go to legends we could go to future we could go to heaven even though heaven was already running we thought we was being smart but basically we lost our identity we lost the right to party but we broke down the doors at people of today convertible six o'clock 8 o'clock in the morning once raves moved from open fields and warehouses into nightclubs they became subject to licensing laws however regardless of location villains would always control the sale of drugs no drugs there'll be no clubs there be no clubs there have been no definitely been no racing but i was thinkin looks at a day of the best clubs by others the best drugs I thought about that are drug-related clubs anywhere they can be black market money you're going to get criminal elements move in and then you get your gang my territory your territory and I think that's no drugs no clubs the underground rave scene exploded onto the mainstream stage and for a short period excluded the criminal elements in 1987 I had started work as a doorman at Raquel's nightclub in Buzzard n' within a year or two I had taken over security at the club and Raquel's began to put on raves in 1993 I formed a partnership with a man named Tony took her with the rave music came drugs and we Tony took her came packed tight he was well known in the Essex underworld after making a dramatic escape from Billericay Magistrates Court he had assaulted the police that were guarding him vaulted the dock and ran outside into the street where awaits him motorbike whisked him away he had lied to surfaced in Spain where he met up with Eddie bundle I spent a bit of time with Vince pain when he was on the run portable news was the place everybody there the gold bullion mob was there the security expressed mob was there the Cougar and mob was there and I found in the very nice cage I really got on well with him I liked him a lot but obviously he wasn't on drugs at the time you know and and the stuff that happened consequently of this lady you know once I start putting drugs up their nose and a mystery and other people then obviously people are going to get to dislike him shortly after I admit took her he tightened their sidekick Craig Rolfe began to binge on drugs this led to them believing that they were all powerful countless families were terrorized three young people died after taking drugs they had supplied women were forced into prostitution and at least one man Kevin Whitaker was murdered the door firm I had founded had turned into a psychotic group of bullies the loyalty of everyone who worked with or Forrest was questioned every favor offered was exploited and every friendship form was destroyed it was only a matter of time before one of the trio or indeed all three would die one fateful day me and my friend in a garage in Leon say bashed into Steve Ellis who was telling us about a friend of his pad tight who not been long out of prison and was starting on a new venture that was going to make anyone involved a lot of money gave us the number my friend was not interested at all but I kept the number and rung it one day got a lady very nice sweet lady on the end of the phone that then turns out to be Pat Tate's mum Marie Pat came round the next day to interview me I had a flat in West Cliff at the time and it was like a whirlwind arriving in my flat Pat stands I think about six-two six-three and at the time when I know he was training and was fairly fit and he's got a wide probably 18 19 stone he was probably the biggest bike at that time I've ever met and he very very balanced a very bouncy man and he just crying in my flat like a whirlwind hello I'm Pat and just thought I was actually there for a job as one of the girls I seem to be working for him where we didn't set off on good footing because I told Pat that's not what I was there for I was more looking for a managerial or administrative position which first he started laughing I was trying to convince me to have my hair in pigtails and I learned a lot more money doing other things we sort of not fell out but I just said no that's not for me after quite a quite a long chat and a laugh with him because he was a nice a nice man and I could see what he wanted to do and he wanted to make a lot of money in the ideas he had he just didn't quite know how to put them into practice he then asked me if I would work with his mum and help run things to start with he was saying oh you should have your hair in pigtails you could go as an 18 year old and basically it was a parlor Pat was running he wanted to get quite a lot of girls together and he wanted to be one of the biggest agencies in Essex that was Pat's plan he had a friend that worked for the papers where all the advertising went and he'd already lined up a lot of advertising he already lined up a place where people would visit and he had think at the time five or six girls and he was recruiting daily as he knew quite a lot of girls in that area and basically I was going to help run it with his mum yeah take the calls people can go to the property or if the girls go out and visit we had a lot of men that were more than helpful and more than happy to drive the girls around to help him make a big business I think within about a week Pat had a parlour in opened up in Southend and the phones were pretty much ringing off the hook 24/7 Pat had a couple of friends one friend I met Tommy Tucker they were crazy people to go out with they took a lot of drugs to start with it was just pills which back 94/95 seemed to burn very socially acceptable then it sort of progressed on to cocaine but not not so bad they were just really party animals they would go out clubbing and they would just keep going and going and going Oliver - current age friendships followed the same pattern first embrace use and then lose if you had no use then no friendship was offered the drugs maid took her and take think that everyone and everything was on this planet for their benefit a young man working in a pizza shop was beaten up because he didn't sell the type of pizza that Tate demanded took a beat up a family man who had fitted his kitchen and kept him in a dog's kennel for days simply because the work wasn't satisfactory even tight being asked to adhere to a dress code in a pub resulting in mindless violence I think he was with Steve Ellis nipper they wouldn't let you mean because he had James on and a couple of the doormen that normally would let him in I think one was on holiday and these particular guys I think they're out to prove a point a bit because Pat was becoming quite well now and even though only been out of prison a couple of months they wouldn't let him him well from what I'd gathered Pat got in I think part of the door came off not quite sure there was quite a scuffle I think they literally stayed for one drink just to prove a point but I think all hell set loose me churchill's I know nippers car number plate because your little private number plate then was taken by the manager of Churchill's back then but what they didn't know was obviously there was a lot of stuff in the boot of that car that Pat turned up with at the candy house in an absolute frenzy nipper by then had gone off somewhere he'd gone to ground I remember Pat turning up with a friend and another car basically with two great big hole dogs saying can you just stick them in the other room don't touch him leave him there till I ring you and bring him with you it must have been about two hours I had to wait for him to ring me and it was it was a real long two hours and then I had to get a cab and he was really insistent don't let the cab driver hold these bags you hold them don't let them touch him and they were heavy and obviously I didn't let the cabbie get near room which I think he thought was a bit weird and I had to go over to Reilly and Essex and meet them I party and there was guns in there I don't know what sort of guns but they were big guns and that's just the world they were they were living in and after a while when you'd been around him long enough it kind acceptable he's just Pat would keep a gun in a parlour a lot the girls were unaware of it but I know he had one there there was always drugs in the parlour yeah we could have got raided at any point but you just became aware of it being there and after a while a sight just become very acceptable of how his life was in November 1995 eighteen-year-old abets collapsed and died after taking an ecstasy pill that had been supplied by took her in tight they began threatening and blaming other people one of which was an associate of the Blundell family Billy Blundell arrived at Raquel's one evening looking for Tucker and Tate and he appeared to be far from happy well I went to the club there were you was to look for him that's because you know there's a bit of a conflict and I needed to to talk to him you know and for some reason Tucker with it Tucker Tucker wouldn't wouldn't come and meet me tight tastes a bit go any yeah right so he saw it out with with with pat tight to come see me and they come down to Farman and I told him what the score was and what was going down and now you know they're upsetting wrong people and they're not prepared to come and talk about and I said you do realize you're you're with him all the time in you so and if anything comes down you're gonna get it is what is in summer creeps up behind you go banging the back idiot don't be surprised because you know he said look Minnie I only said well if it happens it happens so then I know it's no it was no good trying to talk to him already have one people were tired of took her ante too egotistical bullying myself and many others knew that it was only a matter of time before they would be dealt with it was the drug taking that just spiraled so quick from a pill or couple of pills or quite several angry in their cases to the cocaine and then progressed on to the crack him and tyranny would sit there for hours hours and hours just doing crack and I didn't until they told me how much one day they'd got for and how much money they'd spent I was horrified Pat went from being quiet happy-go-lucky and everything was fun to them very paranoid very sad sometimes I think everyone could see it coming and I think when their actual announcement that they'd been shot I don't think there was that many people that was shocked because they hit Essex in such a big way and in such a short space of time don't think anyone probably my lifetime will ever do it again ambi is talked about that's what they were following the murders of took a Titan Ralph a man named diamond Alvin formed a gang in the hope that he could film profit from the void that they had left in the drugs world Alvin's mentor was a man named Malcolm Walsh he was stabbed and died following a trivial dispute mountains cleared day off one of the trends and it just in half of whatever there was an argument that night or the next night one of the trends put a lot of concrete for him at was being W window boasting about it mount God's here about it so I went round found a comment which training was he found out which twenty was and he let you decide to put a concrete for his safe he was pulled off there was arguments a family was there now I'm give me and give a bit of a kick in it all got separate and then obviously the old man old man chairing the one who eventually killed Malcolm he he was pretty pissed off about it yelled manland out there in Windows arguing with Malcolm and said I'm gonna [ __ ] stab you so mountains gone company missed his histories and he come down step Malcolm man when you need a sharp knife that you prick fell down and died Alvin who was inconsolable with grief armed himself with his shotgun burst into the family home of Malcolm's killer and opened fire on men women and children some lost body parts others never recovered trans were havin drinking him huffing session about midnight one o'clock doors been kicked in to two gunmen there and about it clogged up that shotgun start shooting free the Trenton's well they run into the trans place run through the hole found the Trenton's and they start showing for him got shot I thought how many was he knew that night but I think one of them ran into the garden and after that obviously the gunman buggered off one of our beans gang was a man named Dean Bo shell he idolized Alvin and told people that they were in fact brothers unfortunately for Bo shell having had no intention of being his friend let alone his brother all he wanted to do was use both shell to store and distribute his drugs Dean was a diamonds that will go for always doing bits pieces looking after his drugs talking and there was a time when all day news took up off parcels parcels of drugs diamond and there was a time when he was looking after a parcel and the bicycle went missing diamond no as far as he was concerned at dana stolen it so him a good hiding and basically scared thing Dean Damon on the missing and diamond basin when he call out with him here as far as he was concerned denied him big time so he wanted to get him involved getting account of chauffeurs at this time a man named Mark Bradford was on police bail for the alleged murder of a heroin addict Bradford had to sign on at the police station every day and on one occasion he had seen both shell leaving after talking to a detective c'est tout diamond that he'd same Dame walking out of PlayStation and Damons paul-dean mines know what he was doing down there and Dean's then turn around and said Damon he'll be up all being regarded as shown in the trends they know that I was driving the car and they said basically turn around and tell us what you know about Damon and Rickie and we give immunity 10 grand there was a couple of offers that they bought in table for him and each time he turn man himself Damon obviously big mistake because Damon was getting more nervous as he was getting on so he was sure that thing's gonna gross him the night before Dean was killed Damon had found Dana arranged to meet Dean or Dean and found a more common but I know something to do with like Dean and said I'm going to make me brother and he always referred to Damon's his likes brother so he told a couple people who's gonna meet Damon Damon went to Southend picked him up took him back to Western I think then the next morning no one seemed alive again that was it next morning Dean was found in the allotment been shot three times from what I know is he got squirted done him ammonia or something he got shot as he went down he got a no 2 in head it didn't take the police long to arrest Alvin he denied picking both shill up in Southend and claimed instead that he'd been in a flat with his friends Kevin Walsh and Ricky Percival all those present made statement support in Alvin's alibi however three years later the police using mobile phone evidence were able to prove daemon Alvin had lied he was charged with murder and his friends are all charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice when you're waiting at trial with him in Chelmsford bang was Charles outside with a murder Ricky was charged we alibi give him giving him a false alibi and they wanted to in Jos proof that Dame was gross Dane Busher was a gross which would have incriminated diamond say diamond start panicking knowing that basically if that was in Jos he was gonna get down for the murder so he told his barrister I gotta go so he got so stop the trial stop the trial told his barrister basically he wanted to determine change his story which he then grouse a tricky time Ricky create Ricky committed the murder while diamonds with him is there any evidence whatsoever against Ricky Percival diamonds word diamond diamond lived in a frickin dream world trying to be in a big I am he thought Pat Terry and Craig were the big gangsters he were she'd only thought it was something special but in a way also sort of thought I was something special which I'm not because I apparently shot or killed or whatever I did to Pat Terry and Craig and he wanted to be like that he wanted to always kill someone not say he was always going on about his double tape so maybe that was his chance to be like what he thought because Pat Toni and Craig were known to have killed a cut of people I think Damon wanted Spade on that he wanted sort of like poor few notches on his gun in regards to Rick poor sods been well and Tony stitched up Rick is behind a price his mum mum and dad and Danny a pint of rice the Percival family are indeed paying the price Damon Alvin was given a new identity and walked away with his wife free to start a new life at the age of 26 Ricky was sentenced to serve a minimum of 28 years behind bars this nightmare last started in 2003 early eyes in the morning we had police banging at the door woke us up do you know what was happening I got up and went to the door and they're shot in its place we want Mickey Percival I said he's not here I said yup the door went bang it down it's open the door and all these armed please come into my house it was horrendous just didn't know what was happening they went upstairs and Danny which is Ricky's brother was asleep and they got him out of bed naked I was behind the back and guns and everything then realized he wasn't Ricky let him get dressed and then he come down then he was comforting me the stadle guy and we couldn't go out do anything it was just I can't explain it it was just something there was a nightmare you don't think you see on films you don't think it's happening and I just tell him why they stayed here gun was all along the Front or than my neighbors and everybody just all these armed police when Ricky wasn't even here Ricky was spoken to work got to Ricky and he'd spoken to his solicitor and I she he went with her to the police station and it was let out and they come home I just thought this is all gonna go away I didn't think anything coffee but range he had he had to go with a solicitor to Harlow and she said I will be back he'll be back softer no new be home so that was 11 years ago and he's still not home then the nightmare carried on and went from worse we had a 12-week trial which was everybody said Oh Leslie to this our legal teams all said there's no case there's not one bit of evidence there's no case so they really didn't push things as I've been told they should have not took it for granted but it wasn't pushed and he was convicted after 12 weeks for 28 years he got no no evidence so anything is just one man who wanted to save his self and he said Ricky done it because the police didn't like Ricky he was I think he was a little criminal obviously it was a little criminal he was but he wasn't the big criminal that they tried to make him out to be you know like one of the Essex boys that is the big drug spy when come murder can beat people it wasn't one of them but they knew I said they wanted him for something big and they got him for something big that he never done I still can't believe that is why no I'm gonna crack up I really feel sad because my mom's view know he couldn't even come so he's a my dad's be one of my mama's he wasn't my sister's so and I suppose you'd be a poet they more likely let him come to my but I won't be with him so I don't know I just think I'm praying that it gets half I used to think oh maybe we'll be out this year maybe avionics yeah but you just now I just pray that it will happen while I'm alive and and I can enjoy it and hopefully you will have a family and I left grandchildren I still want somebody to show me evidence he's done it you might be not perfect but he's not killer I know these not kill justice comes in many forms the law of the land dictates how we should live our lives natural justice is determined by circumstance injustice is indiscriminate and can destroy us all [Music] [Music] you [Music]
