The wars resulted in one of Glasgow's most shocking killings in recent history.
A brand new BBC Scotland documentary detailing one of the compelling unsolved murder cases in Glasgow's recent history will air next week.
Using archive, first-hand testimony and dramatic reconstruction, the two-part series tells the story of a gangland battle over the most unlikely of things - ice cream van routes.This battle would result in the murder of six completely innocent members of the same family, including an 18-month old baby. In the early 1980s, Glasgow was a tale of two cities – one which was “Miles Better” and the other, a battleground of criminal warfare.
Against this backdrop, ice cream vans thrived, making so much money that they quickly attracted the attention of the city’s gangsters. Competition was fierce and would often escalate into violence, becoming deadly on the morning of April 16, 1984. The police would quickly link the fire to organised criminal gangs trying to muscle in on the city’s ice cream trade. The trial that followed would be the biggest of its kind in Scotland and a 20 year fight for justice that gripped the nation.
