Gangland hitman fails in appeal against 'excessive' life sentence

Mark Fellows who shot dead Salford 'Mr Big' and a mob enforcer will never be released

A double killer hitman who shot to death an underworld "Mr Big" and a mob enforcer will die behind bars after three of England's most senior judges rejected an appeal against his sentence.

Mark Fellows, 38, was told in January he would never be released from jail. He was found guilty of the murders of the Salford mobster Paul Massey with an Uzi machine gun in July 2015, and three years later the "cold blooded" execution of the mob enforcer John Kinsella, from Liverpool.
