Man and woman accused of killing gangster outside pup in Edinburgh

Two people are being accused of shooting and killing a gangster at a pub in Edinburgh.

Two men, including Marc Webley, were shot and killed outside the Anchor Inn in Granton just before midnight on New Year’s Eve.

The 38-year-old made some videos making fun of his enemies and challenging them to come and fight him before he got killed.

Mr Webley passed away in the hospital from his injuries and another man, who is 39 years old, is in serious condition but is stable.

A 32-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were arrested for something, and now they have been charged. The police haven’t confirmed what they are accused of.

Police said that some people in a red Hyundai Tucson stopped outside the pub on West Granton Road and then attacked someone on purpose.

The driver is believed to have left the car, shot a gun, then got back in and drove away towards Leith.

Two people who were taken by armed police from a flat on Gorgie Road will go to court in Edinburgh on Monday, January 8th.

Investigators were searching the area for clues after the deadly attack.

People also left flowers outside the pub.

Mr Webley has a past of being in violent gangs and was sent to prison for trying to murder someone in 2005. He was given an 11-year sentence.

At 19 years old, he and a man named James Tant shot a rival criminal in Granton, but their attempt to kill him didn’t work.

He went to jail for six months because he tried to scare a man into giving him £1,000 at a garage.

In 2022, he was found not guilty of trying to kill two people because a witness said she couldn’t be sure it was him.

Before he died, Mr. Webley told his friends that he thought he would be attacked. He also said that he carried weapons with him everywhere he went.

Jane Park, who won the Euromillions, was in a relationship with Mr. They broke up just three weeks before he was killed.

“I can’t believe I’m writing this,” she said on Instagram the day after he died.

We talked yesterday. If I could hold you close and tell you everything will be okay, I would do anything to do that, Marc.

We were together for a few months, and you taught me important things that I will always remember. I am extremely upset. The bed that is best for you is up high.

A report about two people being charged with causing Mr. Webley’s death will be given to the Procurator Fiscal.
