Vendetta
Dionne Hendry and James Bain were not what you might call the perfect couple.
Jimmy, a heavy cocaine user with gangster fantasies and an ambition to become a drugs super-barron, was a man with a volatile temper which could explode at any time, and Dionne often took a beating.
Fellow residents at Gilmerton Dykes Avenue in Edinburgh called them “the neighbours from hell”, and their rows and screaming matches earned them an ASBO last year, banning them from creating disturbance in and around their home on the otherwise quiet, well kept street.
When, after his latest assault on her last Friday, Dionne complained to her family, a notorious crime clan feared within the Gilmerton community, she could never have imagined the horrifying series of events about to unfold.
Within hours one of her relatives would be brutally slain in an Edinburgh pub, another would be critically ill in hospital and Jimmy Bain would be so badly beaten in a revenge attack that he may have suffered irreversible brain damage.
Former Scottish bantamweight boxing champion Alex Mckinnon, an organised criminal and drug dealer, was furious when his wife told him about Dionne’s latest ordeal at her boyfriend’s hands.
He and his brother in law, James Hendry, decided enough was enough and immediately headed to the couple’s home to give Bain a good dose of his own medicine, Hendry style: a lesson he would never forget.
However, Jimmy, knowing he was in trouble with the family, had gone underground so they paid his father a visit and made it plain that his son was due for some extreme grief.
When word reached Bain, already swirling in a nightmarish vertigo of drug-fuelled paranoia, he decided that pre-emptive action against his hunters was the only option open to him.
With two quick phone calls he arranged to “hire” a 12 bore shotgun and, after drinking a bottle of vodka and snorting the best part of a gram of coke, he and an accomplice, dressed in balaclavas and hoodies, headed for the Marmion pub in Captain’s Road, a regular Saturday night hang-out of the Hendry mob.
In the pub the two men coolly strode over to their targets, the way Jimmy had seen it happen in gangster movies.
Bain pulled down his balaclava, levelled the shotgun at Mckinnon’s head and loosed off both barrels.
But the drugged-up pair had made no plans for a getaway and Bain was soon being pursued on foot by the other Hendrys and their friends.
In a panic he decided to make for home; but his furious pursuers had predicted this move and were waiting there for him when he arrived.
They unleashed their full fury and smashed his head and face to a bloody mush, leaving him battered and unconscious in a garden, where he was found by police three hours later.
He is presently in a critical but stable condition at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and will face a murder charge, if he recovers.
His accomplice, Ricky Cosgrove, has disappeared and is rumoured to have committed suicide.
Detectives expect further violence.
