Were largely from Broadwater Farm. Although this conflict is often

Labelled Hackney vs Tottenham, it's really more linked to those

Two estates within each borough. The series of killings and

Reprisals between the two areas really kicked off in the late 1990's

Two of those convicted for the murder of Popcorn were shot dead by

TMD soon after their release from prison in separate incidents

In June 1999, Menelik Robinson, 20, was driving in his red BMW

Convertible in Hackney when it was followed by two motorbikes. One

Pulled in front of the BMW, blocking its way, whilst another stopped

Beside it. The pillion passenger dismounted and walked up to the

Side window, firing several shots. Two years later in April 2001

Another of the Hackney Boys convicted, Corey Wright, 20, was also

Shot dead in his car in Hackney. His friend who was with him, Wayne

Henry, was also killed. The shots fired into Wright's blue BMW caused

The vehicle to lose control and it went off the road into a bus stop

By Thistlethwaite Road in Lower Clapton. These were some of the

Eight gang and organised crime related killings that earned Lower

And Upper Clapton the reputation as the "Murder Mile". Although the

Murders were never solved, some people believe Clint Pontin had some

Involvement and it is alleged he contacted the Hackney Boys to deny

His involvement a couple days after the murders of Wright and Henry

Hackney responded with the murder of TMD Firm member Buckhead from

Edmonton. He was murdered in December 2002 after being shot down

In a hail of bullets in front of his girlfriend in West Green Road

Hackney Boy DC, who was also a Hounslow club promoter, was pinned

With the murder, having been identified by witnesses. However

Clint Pontin again comes into the frame according to street legend

They go along the lines that DC was not behind the killing but

Clint Pontin had forced Buckhead's girlfriend to identify DC

A strategic move of sorts. DC had been

Serving a life sentence since 2003

A series of events following Buckhead's murder led to

The eventual death of Hackney Boy Jason Fearon. It happened

At Turmills Club in Clerkenwell during a Soul Solid Crew

Event, who were managed by Tottenham Mandem's Leyton

...The event and there was an attempt to prevent the

Event from going ahead, but the event organiser refused

As a result the police parked a vehicle outside

The club, hoping that it would deter any gunmen

However, in the early hours, several men burst into

The nightclub firing shots, injuring one person

The gunfire continued as the targets were chased into the street

Jason Fearon and another man, who believed was the

Main target, made their way in an Audi TT sports car

They were followed by the two Tottenham men, who

Believed to be Clint Pontin and Wes Lamby, firing

Shots into the Audi from their BMW during a car chase

Fearon was wearing a bulletproof vest and was hit in the head and died

Clint Pontin, also known as C1 or The Chosen One

And Wes Lamby went into the music industry, forming

The label Northstar, whilst with the Tottenham mandem

Meanwhile, in the background to these set of killings

Mark Lamby had become a target of the recently

Formed Metropolitan Police Unit, Operation Trident
