A man has pleaded guilty to the murder of biker Gerry Tobin.

Tobin, 35, was killed while riding along the M40 in Warwickshire on his way back from the Bulldog Bash in August last year.

At Bimingham Crown Court, Sean Creighton, 44, of Coventry, admitted the murder of Mr Tobin, who lived in Mottingham, south-east London.

He also admitted firearms offences. Another six men pleaded not guilty to both offences at earlier hearings.

yes...knowing why always helps, otherwise you can draw the wrong conclusion, not that I am condoning anyone's killing, all seems to be a tragic waste of 2 lives, and the heartbreak
that these events cause to family and friends

It's allegedly an Outlaws MC v Angels beef, is my understanding.

Read the full story about the events of the last 2 days and you'll know that it's still very much ongoing.

A guilty plea is the best outcome for all concerned. A trial would have indeed exposed the "differences" between The Hells Angels motorcycle club,England and The Outlaws Motorcycle club,Great Britain.

 These people are VERY secretive about there whole existence and do not discuss ANYTHING with outsiders, including the old bill,

 Nevertheless the guilty will have to spend his time on rule 43, down in isolation. This kind of "biker war" is extremely rare for the UK and I'm sure a deal was struck somewhere. It'll be interesting to see the sentence. anything under 25 years is a stitch up.
