This article delves into the stories of several notorious criminals from Nottingham, highlighting their crimes and the lengths of their prison sentences. The article focuses on Colin Gunn, a notorious crime boss, and the Stirland murders he orchestrated.
These are the faces of some of Nottingham's most infamous criminals, all of whom have been handed substantial prison sentences for their heinous crimes. Colin Gunn was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2006, with a minimum term of 35 years, for conspiring to murder John and Joan Stirland in Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire. Meanwhile, John Dawes, who has since been released, was given a 24-year sentence at Nottingham Crown Court in 2005 for money laundering and conspiracy to deal drugs.
Mark Martin, of no fixed address, was found guilty of murdering Katie Baxter, Zoe Pennick and Ellen Frith and was sentenced to life in prison. Colin Gunn Colin Gunn's name will forever be associated with crime in Nottingham as the notorious Bestwood crime boss who was imprisoned for life in 2006 - with a minimum term of 35 years - for conspiring to murder John and Joan Stirland. The murders were in retaliation for the death of Jamie Gunn, Colin Gunn's 19 year old nephew, who died on August 2, 2004. Although the official cause of Jamie's death was pneumonia, it was believed that he had been on a downward spiral of alcohol and drugs ever since he witnessed a gunman shoot and kill his best friend, Marvyn Bradshaw, outside the Sporting Chance pub, in Bulwell, in August 2003. That gunman was Mrs Stirland's son, Michael O'Brien, who was later sentenced to life in prison for the murder. However, his incarceration left his mother and stepfather as the only remaining targets for a revenge attack by Gunn and other members of the Bestwood Cartel crime gang. The Stirlands were forced into police protection after their Carlton home was targeted in a drive-by shooting. After relocating to North Yorkshire and then returning to Nottingham, the Stirlands, aged 53 and 55, left police protection and attempted to live peacefully - and safely - in a bungalow in the Lincolnshire coastal village of Trusthorp
