George Redmond

Nine shots crack through Glasgow city centre on a Monday night, and within seconds George Redmond is dying on the pavement outside the Waldorf Bar. The gunman is gone, the stolen Porsche Cayenne disappears towards the M8, and by the time police catch up it’s burning in Gartkosh with every trace of evidence going up in smoke. That single detail tells you what kind of killing this is: not a drunken fight, but a planned execution designed to leave nothing behind.

We walk you through Redmond’s rise from the East End streets of Brigton into a feared reputation built on intimidation, assaults and public violence. We revisit the moments that shaped how people saw him: the 1991 murder trial where he is acquitted while his brother takes a life sentence, the “Pulp Fiction funeral” where a minor slight nearly ends in a shotgun attack, and the 2006 stabbing of David “Mincy” McKenzie that some believe plants the seed for revenge. We also dig into the confrontation with Michael Norton, a former police officer turned drug dealer, and how brazen humiliation can create enemies who don’t forget.

Then we get into what makes this one of Scotland’s most professional unsolved executions: the convoy theory, the rumoured Belfast hitman, the burned-out vehicle, and the Glasgow code of silence that leaves detectives chasing whispers instead of statements. The suspect list isn’t short, it’s endless and that might be the point.
