A British runner, cyclist and mob hit man has been convicted of murdering two rival gangsters, in part, because his fitness tracker had a GPS.
Mark 바카라 게임 웹사이트Iceman바카라 게임 웹사이트 Fellows, 39, was found guilty by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court of killing organized crime leader Paul 바카라 게임 웹사이트Mr. Big바카라 게임 웹사이트 Massey, 55, and his associate John Kinsella, 53, at the time of their deaths. Massey and Kinsella were also career criminals, part of a gang scene near Manchester, England, with a reputation known across Europe, according to the Manchester Evening 온라인 바카라 게임.
Though police already suspected Fellows in Kinsella바카라 게임 웹사이트s death, it was his that linked him to Massey바카라 게임 웹사이트s unsolved 2015 slaying. While detectives were investigating Fellows, they came across a photo of the suspect wearing his Garmin Forerunner during 2015바카라 게임 웹사이트s Great Manchester 10K two months before the killing of Massey that July. Detectives then located the device at Fellows바카라 게임 웹사이트 home and checked its GPS data for files that could link him to Massey.
They found that the runner plotted the killings with the attention and precision of any serious athlete, and accordingly, he recorded his reconnaissance missions. (Runner바카라 게임 웹사이트s World was not been able to link Fellows to a public Strava or Garmin account.)
Manchester police asked James Last, an expert in satellite-based radio navigation, to examine the Garmin for evidence that Fellows had been been near the scene of Massey바카라 게임 웹사이트s slaying, reports the Liverpool Echo. Last said that almost two months before Massey바카라 게임 웹사이트s death, the watch had recorded a 35-minute activity starting in Fellows바카라 게임 웹사이트 neighborhood and traveling to the field near Massey바카라 게임 웹사이트s home.
Last said the wearer set out initially traveling at around 12 mph, which suggested they were on a bike. When they reached the field, the speed dropped to about 3 mph, consistent with walking, before they stopped for about 8 minutes. According to the Liverpool Echo, this is the alleged escape route that Fellows ran, or perhaps rode, his bike on two months later after gunning down Massey in his own driveway.
Three weeks after the death of Massey, Fellows was shot (presumably by a gang rival) while riding his bike from his girlfriend바카라 게임 웹사이트s to his grandmother바카라 게임 웹사이트s house. The shot passed through his pelvis, according to the Warrington Guardian, but he survived. After this brush with his own death, the 39-year-old appeared to live a quiet life, working the night shift as a sous-chef making sauces.
Then three years later came the death of John Kinsella, along with surveillance video showing Fellows making a similar reconnaissance loop in his car. On May 5, 2018, he approached Kinsella on his bike, and shot him twice in the back, then twice more while Kinsella was on the ground, before pedaling away. As seriously as Fellows seemed to take his preparation, he did not appear to consider witnesses would notice a cyclist wearing both commando gear and a high-visibility safety vest while toting a gun 바카라 게임 웹사이트 they did, and they told the police.
Soon after, Fellows left the country on vacation with his girlfriend, and upon returning, was arrested in the airport on May 30. On Thursday, he was sentenced to life in prison.
