Who was Marc Webley?

In 2005 Marc Webley was locked up for 11 years after shooting an adversary from a competing drugs gang in Edinburgh, Scotland.

In 2004 Webley was at the centre of a turf war, which culminated in 2005 with him firing a gun at a rival, hitting him once.

After he was freed from jail, Webley was caged for a further six months for trying to intimidate a man into handing over £1,000 at a garage.

In 2022 he was cleared of a double-murder bid after a witness claimed she couldn't identify him.

What happened to Marc Webley

Webley was shot to death after leaving his local pub while celebrating New Year's Eve 2023/24.

A source said: “Webley was involved in a dispute with a well-known figure from the south of Edinburgh.

“It had been bubbling away for a while with threats from both sides. Thing is the other guy was in Spain when this happened.

“Webley left the Anchor Inn just before the bells and was shot outside.

"It seems like it was by someone waiting who knew he’d be there.

"Webley is a regular in there, so it was fair to assume he’d be there on Hogmanay.

“He was hit in the neck and head area and died at the scene.

The next day they enjoyed dinner and drinks at the capital’s Urban Bar and Grill in the Village Hotel.

Later Jane uploaded more images of her embracing the con to a soundtrack of Can You Feel The Love Tonight? — the song recorded by Elton John for the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King.

Jane, who won £1million in 2013, then shared an influencer’s video about not caring what other people think.

In December 2023 it was reported that Jane had split with a gangland gunman she had been cosying up to.

Park appeared to be smitten in online snaps with the underworld thug.

Following the shooting, Jane said on Instagram: "I can't believe I'm writing this. We spoke yesterday.

"If I could cuddle you again and tell you everything is going to be ok, I would give anything to do it Marc.

"The months we spent together you taught me some valuable things in life and I'll never ever forget you. I am absolutely devastated.

"The best bed for you is up there my handsome."
