It is incredible the number of people that have got murdered either directly or indirectly because of this job. How do you mean? I thought the only death was the police officer who entered his premises? No, that was just the incident in Noye's garden, when he killed the Police Officer. He was (I assume) referring to the Brinks-Mat heist, various crime literature suggests that 5 or 6 of those involved subsequently met with untimely deaths. Yeah the police officer was looking for gold and evidence in his garden. I'm really fascinated by crime and was just intrigued about who else was killed, how and why. The most obvious and high profile killing (can we call it a murder now given what Noye has subsequently done?) was on PC John Fordham in Kenneth Noyes garden as he was investigating him for laundering the gold but the police have linked a bunch of other murders to the gold and, in particular people that were laundering the proceeds. Off the top of my head I think the murders of Solly Nahome who had helped melt some of the gold down was shot dead in Hatton Garden, George Francis and Brian Perry were both killed after being suspected of laundering some of the money and knowing where some of the gold was and I think the general belief is that Charlie Wilsons (the great train robber) murder was related to his involvement in laundering the proceeds. There is a book by Wensley Clarkson on the fallout but I haven't read it as I find his books to be pretty dry but he is well connected in those kind of circles I believe and has certainly written more on London gangsters than anyone else. |

Ha my old man always talks about this, loving some of the old clips of world cups on the bbc sport website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper Saw a documentary about this a few years back, love an unsolved crime! |

Go to any good bookshop & visit the "True Crime" section, there is some great reading there. I'm given to understand you can even buy books online these days, too. I read up on Colin Gunn recently (being from Nottingham, it really interested me). Found it fascinating. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1559304/Gangland-boss-Colin-Gunn-jailed-for-life.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZLh2_OgNuw < Part 1 |

JK - there is a good book which is broadly about Gunn and also others in Nottingham. If it is an area of interest you might enjoy it. It is certainly very readable.

Two games you can play on Wikipedia: 1. N clicks to Hitler. Hit a random page and choose the best N links to get from there to Hitler. N = 3 is a good standard of clicking. 2. I'll let Rives describe it. |
