Manchester, England - A notorious gangster was knifed to death days before a documentary is to be screened in which he boasts of being behind 27 killings - and of being untouchable.
Police have stepped up patrols after Desmond "Dessie" Noonan was stabbed and his body was dumped in Merseybank Avenue, Chorlton, early on Saturday morning.
The 6ft, 20-stone father-of-two operated as a fixer for his brother, Dominic, the Urdu-speaking head of the notorious Noonan crime family based in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
(Sounds like a great guy. Misunderstood, no doubt.)
