Two guilty in M40 bike murder
Two men have been found guilty of the murder of Hells Angel biker Gerry Tobin who was shot dead on the M40 last year.
Simon Turner, 41 of Nuneaton and Dane Garside, 42, from Coventry were found guilty of murder at Birmingham Crown Court today whilst the jury is yet to return its verdict on four other defendants; Malcolm Bull, 53, of Milton Keynes, as well as Karl Garside, 45, Dean Taylor, 47, and Ian Cameron, 46, all from Coventry
All have denied murder and the possession of firearms.
Tobin, 35, was shot dead whilst travelling towards his home in South East London from the Bulldog Bash motorcycle show in Warwickshire on August 12 2007.
The jury was told that Mr Tobin was targeted by members of the rival “Outlaws” motorcycle gang simply because he was a “fully patched” Hells Angel.
Witnesses said a Rover car pulled up alongside him before two shots were fired, a car which Garside had admitted to driving but denied playing any role in the killing.
Two shots were fired from the car, one hit Mr Tobin in the head, killing him instantly, while the second bullet struck his Harley Davidson motorbike.
It is alleged that his killers selected him as a target after waiting in a lay-by close to a motorway junction near Warwick.
The trial of the remaining defendants continues.
