Malcolm McKeown: The life, crimes and execution of the notorious gangster
Manage episode 512690981 series 3379610
Malcolm McKeown was shot dead at point blank range in August 2019. McKeown was a career criminal, from a family steeped in violence - both his brothers had convictions for involvement in sectarian killings. Two men have now been convicted of his murder – linked to the Lurgan based organised crime gang the ‘Firm’. McKeown had been shot previously, and he knew he was under threat, his enemies were many, but a botched drug deal with the Firm sealed his fate.
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s crime correspondent, Allison Morris
