A brother of Willie Bonney has sensationally claimed that he confessed to him about being a getaway driver in the Regency Hotel shooting.
However the daughters of the now deceased Willie have slammed the new claims by their uncle Matthew Bonney — and insisted their father “had nothing to do with the Regency.” Last week Willie’s son Jason Bonney (52) was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison after he was convicted of being the getaway driver to help Kevin ‘Flat Cap’ Murray escape following the gangland shooting on February 5, 2016.
Jason had called two witnesses to try and back his now unfounded claim that his father, who died in 2019, was the man driving the BMW X5 on the day and not him. Ms Justice Tara Burns said the court had been lied to in the “most malevolent manner” by Jason Bonney, who had wrongly tried to implicate his father.
