David Gunn urges people to 'keep away' from life of crime in new podcast

Ex-Nottingham cartel boss David Gunn has urged people to "keep away" from crime. Gunn has encouraged people not to end up like himself and his brother Colin, who remains in prison, and says police have seized over one million pounds from him along with jailing him on multiple occasions over the years.

The pair ran the Bestwood Cartel crime gang and will forever be linked to the estate, even all these years later. Brothers Colin and David, along with others, both went on trial over the murders of John and Joan Stirland, who were gunned down in August 2003 in Trusthorpe on the East coast of Lincolnshire.

No-one was convicted of their murder but in June 2006 Colin Gunn was sentenced to 35 years for conspiring to murder the Stirlands, while John Russell of Northcote Way, Bulwell, was jailed for a minimum of 30 years, and Michael McNee of no fixed address, was jailed for at least 25 years, both for the same offence. David Gunn was found not guilty by the jury.
