Two gunmen have been given life sentences for shooting a stranger dead after a row in a queue at McDonald’s.Horace Campbell, 28, and Liam Douglas-O’Callaghan, 18, were found guilty of murdering Devon Scarlett, 32.
Old Bailey judge Richard Hawkins said a 'trivial argument' had escalated in half-an-hour to the execution of the father of four.
Campbell followed Mr Scarlett into an alley and shot the victim twice before saying: 'You are not so hot now'.
Campbell was jailed for life with a minimum term of 32 years. Douglas-O’Callaghan was ordered to be detained during Her Majesty’s Pleasure with a minimum term of 18 years.
Judge Hawkins told them: 'The two of you quickly despatched Devon Scarlett without mercy.'
