Two drug gang members found guilty of possessing a machine gun to intimidate rival criminals have been jailed, after a court heard ammunition for the weapon was stored underneath a bed where a child slept.
Video of the Skorpion machine pistol being test-fired under laboratory conditions was released by investigators after ring-leader Danyal Aziz was jailed for 33 years, and his “right-hand man” Michael Earp was handed a 26-year sentence by judge Roderick Henderson at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday.
