Lee Amos died in prison while serving a 35-year sentence

A notorious gangster who once led the feared Gooch Gang in Manchester has died in prison. It was back in 2009 that Lee 'Cabbo' Amos was jailed for the drive-by killing of Tyrone Gilbert, 24.

But for years before, the ruthless pair had dominated one of the city's deadliest gangs; two of the men who turned Manchester into 'Gunchester'. They didn't find any hostages, but they did found six members of the Gooch gang, including Joyce and Amos, and a stash of weapons including a Skorpion machine gun. Joyce was jailed for nine years and Amos was also locked up.

Young dad Ucal Chin, 23, was shot dead by Joyce in a daylight ambush at Anson Road, Longsight, in June 2007. Joyce pulled up in an Audi and peppered Ucal's car with 9mm bullets from a converted Russian Baikal self-loading pistol. Ucal was killed because Amos and Joyce believed he was a member of the Longsight Crew.
