Editorial standard

Convictions, acquittals, allegations, police intelligence and later memoir claims are kept separate. Cross-links are either documented relationships or explicitly contextual graph links.

Contract violence

Mark Fellows became publicly known through two gangland murders rather than through leadership of a criminal organization. Prosecutors portrayed him as a highly organized hitman capable of planning and executing targeted killings.

Murder of Paul Massey

In 2015 Fellows shot Massey outside his home in Salford with an Uzi-type submachine gun. The killing occurred during a period of intense conflict between criminal factions in Greater Manchester.

Murder of John Kinsella

Fellows was also convicted of murdering John Kinsella in 2018. Evidence presented at trial linked the killings through surveillance, vehicles and wider feud relationships.

Life sentence

Fellows received a whole-life order, placing him among the relatively small number of British prisoners expected never to be released.

Graph role

Fellows connects the Paul Massey murder, John Kinsella murder, Salford gang feud and the network of associates around those cases.
