Bradley Welsh's family demand criminal probe into bungling cops after force uphold Osman complaint

The family of murdered T2 Trainspotting star Bradley Welsh are demanding a criminal probe after Police Scotland admitted gross failures over his killing.

Bradley was shot dead outside his Edinburgh home in a £10,000 contract hit after bungling officers failed to warn him he was being targeted. It emerged during the trial of gunman Sean Orman that a witness told police three times about a gangland plot to murder the ex-boxing champ.
