Episode 465: The murder of notorious 'The Firm' gangster Kevin Conway

The murder of notorious crime gang member Kevin Conway in West Belfast this week has sinister similarities to a number of other assassinations in the North with suggestions that one hitman may now be responsible for seven deaths.

Conway, a member of the feared Firm outfit, was shot dead at the doorway of his bail address where he was living as he awaited trial for the murder of Shane Whitla in Lurgan last year.

Nicola speaks with Belfast Telegraph Crime Correspondent Allison Morris about Conway, his background and links to The Firm and her fascinating take on a hitman who disappears like a ghost leaving no trace.
