Former football star Grant convicted of murder | Former Millwall and Bradford striker Gavin Grant, who was
cleared of murder three years ago, is facing a life sentence after being convicted for another gun killing. Grant, 26, was involved in a series of tit-for-tat shootings
in a "lawless" council estate in north-west London . Grant, who also played for
Wycombe Wanderers and Bradford City , will be sentenced on Monday for gunning
down Leon Labastide, 21. The judge said the case was linked to shootings and drug
dealing on the Stonebridge Park Estate, in Harlesden , North West London , The
Sun reports. He told the jury: "It is more the law of the jungle than of civilised
England ." Grant was found not guilty in 2007 of shooting Jahmall Moore, 22, who
died in a hail of 16 bullets fired by gunmen in 2005. The player denied murdering
Labastide in 2004 but was found guilty. The court was told the killing over 20,000
pounds in missing drugs money led to the death of Moore . Detective Inspector
Steve Horsley said later: "Grant thought he'd got away with murder. He carried
on his football career while he had blood on his hands." |
