He killed Marvyn Bradshaw
Notorious killer Michael O'Brien - whose murder in cold blood led to a devastating chain of events - has had his case referred to the Parole Board. O'Brien's 18-year tariff expires this year - but his case has not been put through in its first stages on paper yet.
O'Brien and Gary Salmon were convicted separately for the murder of 22-year-old shopfitter Marvyn Bradshaw. Aged 23 at the time, O'Brien, then from Wendover Drive in Aspley, was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court to life in prison, with the recommendation that he serve a minimum of 24 years, later reduced to 18 years.Three years later, Salmon, 34, would be given life with a minimum 18-year-tariff.
Salmon produced a single-barreled shotgun wrapped in a coat. O’Brien took it, went back to the pub, and shot Marvyn. The fatal shot was meant for Jamie after the argument earlier that night. Marvyn was driving best friend Jamie and friends away from the pub after a lock-in when Marvyn was shot in the back of his head and died later that day.
And, tragically, weeks later, on August 2, 2004, Jamie contracted pneumonia and died. Crime boss Colin Gunn, the uncle of Jamie, decided on the ultimate revenge to get to O'Brien.
