Cousin of crime boss Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel slashed in neck amid Scots gangland turf war
THE cousin of Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel has been slashed in the neck amid the ongoing gangland turf war, it's been claimed.
Jamie ‘Grinch’ Daniel is said to have been attacked with a knife in a targeted street attack near his flat.
The ambush in Milton, Glasgow, comes days after enemies torched the homes of crime family boss Bonzo’s mum Annette, 63, and his 72-year-old uncle Norman in nearby Bishopbriggs.
A source told The Scottish Sun on Sunday: “The guys that targeted him shouted, ‘This is for your family’.
“They were out to get him big time and caught him on the neck.
“There’s word cops wanted him moved as soon as they knew what happened and what his name was. The place is a powderkeg and it’s all just waiting to go off.”
Cops have charged 20 people after a wave of shootings and firebombings in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh, including a boy of 16 accused of five attempted murders.
It is understood the assault on Grinch - said to have happened late last week - was not reported to cops.
It is the second time in eight years he has been ambushed with a blade.
He suffered serious injuries in June 2017 when two masked knifemen set upon him at his flat.
