Gary Salmon was once one of the most wanted felons in Britain. With Michael O'Brien, he murdered Marvyn Bradshaw, 22, of Top Valley, after he was shot outside Bulwell's Sporting Chance pub in August 2003.
Salmon went on the run for nearly three years and despite a £10,000 reward, £15,000 poster campaign and a high-profile appeal on Crimewatch UK, Salmon evaded police. That was until they caught up with him in March 2006 in Birmingham after a tip-off and he was arrested at gun-point by armed cops.
Salmon was charged with murdering Mr Bradshaw, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life (used by O’Brien to kill Mr Bradshaw) and making threats to kill door staff at Obsessions nightclub, Thurland Street, Nottingham, on August 29, 2003, and was convicted of all three - and the agonsing wait for justice was finally over for Mr Bradshaw's family and friends.
