It was 10.50pm on a Saturday when a masked man walked into the packed Marmion pub, a sawn-off shotgun gripped in both hands, and opened fire.
In moments, one man had suffered fatal wounds and a second lay badly injured as the shooter fled into the darkness.
He would be pursued through the streets by a mob who chased him from the Edinburgh bar. They beat him brutally in the face with the butt of his own weapon.
