THE GLOBE

Gunman looks like a Burton's model.

Family lay flowers on the grass verge by the place that he was shot. Only for snobby residents to remove them soon after.

That's disgusting isn't it!

Whether true or not, a lot of stories went round about it being a drugs related shooting.

I can't see them finding the killer after all this time though!
