Hells Angel 'gunned down at 90mph'
4:30pm Monday 6th October 2008
A BIKER from Mottingham returning home from a Hells Angel festival was shot dead from a moving car as it sped along a motorway at up to 90mph, a court has heard.
Prosecutor Timothy Raggatt said the killing of Gerry Tobin, 35, of Mottingham Road, was carried out with "great skill and precision" and had been planned almost like a military operation.
Mr Tobin died in a split second when he was shot near Warwick Services on August 12 last year.
Opening the case against six men accused of murdering Mr Tobin on the M40, Mr Raggatt told a jury at Birmingham Crown Court that the killing was "a thoroughly cold-blooded business" calculated down to the finest detail.
The jury heard he was targeted not because of who he was but because of what he was.
