Never a truer word was said in the case of ruthless gangland enforcer Kevin “Gerbil” Carroll.. It took place at lunchtime outside a supermarket while parents shopped with their young children.
In the ensuing pandemonium terrified mums threw themselves on top of their children in a bid to protect them from any stray bullets. The man, who later gave evidence at the High Court trial of one of the murder accused, was left in no doubt during the brief summit that he would be shot and Gerbil was the man to do it.
One dealer reportedly had his fingers broken by Carroll and his crew, who then pulled out a grinder and threatened to cut his nipples off. “He’d shave all his body hair off and shave his head as close as he could get it to avoid leaving DNA anywhere. In the first Ross Monaghan, then 30, from Penilee, walked free after 19 days when a judge ruled there was no case to answer
Following the end of Monaghan’s trial, it also emerged that a Constable Derek McLeod had leaked secret police surveillance data detailing the movements of 29-year-old Gerbil to his rivals. “It was not a spontaneous event which happened on the spur of the moment, it was in effect an execution.” During both trials, the juries heard evidence from ordinary members of the public who found themselves caught up in the shooting.
Asked to describe the weapon, Emma said:"Just silver, I remember thinking it was like a Clint Eastwood western-style gun with a rolling barrel.Emma said:"I thought he was going to turn it on everyone."Emma said:"I thought it was just someone shooting at everyone.Asda manager Steven McKenna, then 49, witnessed the murder from his office window, an hour after he came on duty.
He said:"I thought there was a film crew, and they were filming, but I realised something serious had happened when security guards from Asda told people to keep away from the car."I wish I hadn't gone there." The role of Gerbil's two associates, who escaped from the Audi before the hit squad opened fire, was also questioned.Bonner, who was Carroll's driver, scrambled out of the car as soon as he saw the Golf pull up in front of them.He also admitted locking the Audi as he fled but claimed he pushed the button accidentally when he fell to the ground.
A few weeks after the trial ended, Gerbil’s £220,000 villa in Lennoxtown was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act to recover cash and assets through his involvement in organised crime.
