He spoke exclusively to Nottinghamshire
Infamous Nottingham criminal Michael O'Brien has made a shocking confession from jail - he shot innocent shopfitter Marvyn Bradshaw more than 19 years ago. Speaking exclusively to Nottinghamshire Live from behind bars, 42-year-old O'Brien has accepted for the first time that he shot Mr Bradshaw, with the shocking words: "100% it was me".
O'Brien, a dad and granddad, was told repeatedly he was speaking to the Nottingham Post, and he was relaxed and clear as he answered questions about his life inside and his plans on working with Herbert, who presents live workshops as part of his mission to reduce re-offending by motivating and inspiring people to be the best they can be.
O'Brien said: "I remember everything about it". He said he went in the pub that night and he was assaulted and locked in. O'Brien said: "Remember five minutes before I fired that shot, I had just been battered by about five of them. I was a bit battered and bruised to be honest. And I think anger is what made me fire that shot, and just the fact it had been going on for so many years beforehand.
"There's been a lot of misconceptions, misinterpretations of what people said, even down to the thing in the court" - where he made a horrific comment about the victim - but O'Brien insists he did not say it to the victim's parents. O'Brien was six days into his sentence for murder when his parents were murdered by unknown gunmen. Jamie Gunn witnessed O'Brien shooting Mr Bradshaw, but he contracted pneumonia and died a year later.
