New photo Two men guilty of murder for their part in gangland slayings of Paul Massey and John Kinsella

A hitman nicknamed 'The Ice Man' was today convicted of murdering two gangsters in assassinations two years apart and was caught when a fitness gadget he wore placed him at the murder scene.

Mark Fellows, 38, smirked as he was found guilty of the murders of Salford's 'Mr Big' Paul Massey and his mob enforcer, John Kinsella, at Liverpool Crown Court today.

But he was cleared of the attempted murder of Kinsella's partner, Wendy Owen. 

His 'brother in arms' and 'spotter' Steven Boyle, 36, was found guilty of the murder of Kinsella but found not guilty of Massey's murder and not guilty of the attempted murder of Ms Owen.  

Paul 'Mr Big' Massey, who was shot dead in Salford in 2015, was Manchester's richest and most famous gangster who once ran for mayor before he was gunned down in an Uzi attack as he stepped out of his silver BMW.

Notorious thug John Kinsella, 53, a gangland 'fixer', was a well-known criminal on Merseyside and once stepped in to help the former Liverpool and England midfielder Steven Gerrard when a fellow gangster was terrorising him. 

Fellows was on a bike when he shot Kinsella dead as he walked his dog with his partner on a footpath near the M62 motorway outside St Helens on Merseyside at 7am, in May 2017.

Mark Fellows, 38, nicknamed The Iceman, murdered Salford mobster Paul Massey with an Uzi machine gun outside his home in the city in July 2015.

How joggers' watch helped catch killer 

Police investigating the Kinsella murder seized a Garmin Forerunner watch belonging to Fellows. 

The watch is a type of watch worn by keen runners and cyclists which has a GPS function enabling routes run and cycled to be recorded, along with other information such as pace and distance. 

When detectives analysed the watch it showed a few months before the murder of Paul Massey, the wearer of the watch had travelled a route from his home to the area behind the church in which the killer lay in wait for his victim on July, 26, 2015.

It showed, police said, Fellows on a 'reconnaissance run' for the 'stone cold murder'.

Father-of-five Massey, 55, a notorious 'Mr Big' crime figure in Salford and beyond, was blasted at 18 times as he raised his hands in defence and dived for cover behind bins, a jury heard during a seven week trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

After being shot five times, he died within minutes.

Three years later, Massey's friend and gang associate, John Kinsella, 53, a martial arts expert and mob enforcer from Liverpool, was murdered by Fellows in a second 'cold-blooded' execution.

Kinsella, whose help footballer Steven Gerrard called on to scare off a Liverpool gangster known as The Psycho who had been 'terrorising' him, was walking his dogs with his pregnant partner, Wendy Owen, near their home in Rainhill, Merseyside, on May 5 last year.

Fellows cycled up, shooting his victim twice in the back with a Webley six-shot revolver.

As Kinsella lay dying, the killer stood over him to fire twice more into the back of his head from close range.

On both occasions his co-accused and 'brother in arms' Steven Boyle, 36, had allegedly acted as spotter to ensure the planned victims were in place and to act as back-up, waiting nearby, if needed, which he denied.

Both victims, 'notorious' heavy criminals in gangland Manchester and Merseyside, were murdered as a result of a deadly feud between rival gangs in Salford - the A-Team, linked to the victims and a splinter faction the defendants were with.

Fellows was convicted of both murders but found not guilty of the attempted murder of Miss Owen.

Boyle was found guilty of the murder of Kinsella, but cleared of the murder of Massey and the attempted murder of Miss Owen.

Both defendants smiled as the jury foreman returned guilty verdicts, following 31 hours and three minutes of deliberations.

Relatives of the victims sat in the public gallery, holding hands and wiping away silent tears, as both men were convicted.

Fellows smiled and nodded as he was found guilty of both murders.

His co-accused Boyle dropped his head and also gave a wry smile as he was found guilty on one count of murder and cleared of the second.

Some relatives of the victims left the court in tears before court was adjourned.

Outside, police in combat gear carrying Heckler and Koch machine guns patrolled the corridors for the duration of the trial; both defendants had in a past hearing tried to burst out of a court building.

The defendants are facing mandatory life sentences for murder and will be sentenced by trial judge Mr Justice William Davis on Thursday morning.

Outside court, members of the Massey and Kinsella families shook hands and shared hugs with police detectives who had worked on the case.

Louise Lydiate, Massey's partner and mother of two of his children, said: 'Anyone who knows Paul would tell you he was a very generous, kind man who would do anything for anybody.

'He was a grandfather of eight. All these Mr Big and things like that come from people who obviously don't know him.

'It's been a long journey, very long journey. A sad journey, I just hope now we can move on in our lives as a family and get back to some normality.'

Asked how she felt about Fellows and Boyle, Ms Lydiate replied: 'Just let them go to prison forever as far as I'm concerned.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
