Yardie who killed twice gets life

A yardie gangster who murdered two rival drug dealers in London in less than 24 hours was given two life sentences at the Old Bailey today.

The first victim of Bryan McLeish, 31, was Godfrey Scott, who was shot at close range.

The second, Ray Samuels, was taken to McLeish's home on the Clapton Park Estate and trussed up with a plastic bag over his head before he was tortured with scalding water.

McLeish's fellow gangster, Bonnie Ambersley, 30, from Stoke Newington, was jailed for eight years for Scott's manslaughter.

The court heard that the pair thought they had been double-crossed over a £20,000 consignment of cocaine smuggled into the UK last June.
