In the 1930s, Glasgow was riven by gang conflict. The names of the gangs—the Norman Conks, the Bingo Boys, the Tongs, the Billy Boys, and San Toy—might have had a certain devilish appeal, but the violence was all too real. Some of the gangs were actually highly organized and even dabbled in politics. Worryingly, at one point, the Billy Boys opened a branch of the British Union of Fascists in Glasgow, a Hitlerite party led by renegade politician Sir Oswald Mosley.

In December 1977, Hall boasted to barmaid Mary Coggle and petty criminal Michael Kitto that he planned to rob his employers. He then took his pals to the Scott-Elliot’s Kensington apartment. But Mrs. Scott-Elliot turned up unexpectedly and was killed, probably smothered. The three crooks then put her body in the trunk of the Scott-Elliot’s car. They drugged Mr. Scott-Elliot, shoved him in the car, too, and drove to Scotland. There they buried Mrs. Scott-Elliot and killed her husband. Then Hall and Kitto killed Coggle.
