From the youngest lottery winner, the daughter of a gang leader and a vodka business owner, are the woman embroiled in Britain's deadliest gang war between the Lyons and the Daniels
Behind the faces of Britain's deadliest gang war between the Lyons and the Daniels are the girlfriends and wives who led a rather glamorous life. But with their status comes the crimes, attacks and bloody feuds that have continued to erupt.
The savage double murder of two of Scotland's most infamous gangsters is the latest development in a violent feud between the Lyons network and the rival Daniel mob that has spanned over two decades.
‌
On May 30, Ross Monaghan, 43, and his criminal associate Eddie Lyons Junior, 46, had just finished watching the Champions League final in a Costa del Sol pub when they were gunned down by a masked assailant. The pair have links to the infamous Scottish Lyons clan, which police linked to a series of assaults, firebombings and shootings across Edinburgh and Glasgow, alongside the rival Daniel gang.
‌
The escalating violence was reportedly attributed to attempts made at undermining the criminal reign of Mark Richardson, allegedly involved in cocaine distribution, and his crony, Steven "Bonzo" Daniel.
Associates of the Lyons are said to have mobilised alongside cocaine merchant Ross "Miami" McGill following a heist by Richardson's crew, who reportedly nabbed drugs valued at £500,000 from them, Daily Mail reports. The conflict has since intensified, culminating in the recent hit job, subsequently leading to cautionary messages about possible retaliatory measures being disseminated online.
Social media posts have called on people associated with the Daniels and Richardsons to "leave Scotland immediately", while others have attempted to call Scots to arms. But away from the bloody feud between the Lyons network and the rival Daniel mob, their wives and girlfriends lead a more glamorous life...
Olivia Newall
Olivia Newall is the moll of Ross 'Miami' McGill, the former Union Bears chief and now gang boss. The couple are thought to have been in Costa del Sol before moving to Dubai.
McGill is said to be close with her cousin Lloyd Cross, having grown up near each other in Glasgow.
‌
Nicola Cassells
Mum-of-three Nicola Cassells is the ex-girlfriend of John Bonner, a gangster who drove infamous Daniels enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll to an Asda car park where he was brutally killed in 2010.
During the trial of 'Gerbil's' murder suspect Ross Monaghan in 2012, who was later cleared, Bonner gave evidence about his role in the death of his friend. The court heard that Bonner was one of 99 potential suspects identified in the murder, reports Birmingham Live.
‌
In 2024, Bonner was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison for his part in serious organised crime.
Nicola Morrissey
Nicola Morrissey is the wife of 'Johnny Cash' Morrissey. Together, they have a property portfolio and share their Nero Vodka business in Costa Del Sol.
‌
'Johnny Cash' is said to be involved in the Kinahan cartel, an Irish organised crime group with links to the Lyons in Glasgow.
Conservative MSP and former crime journalist Russell Findlay, who was targeted in an acid attack by the gangs, told the Scottish Parliament in 2022: "One Kinahan gang member who has been sanctioned [by US authorities in 2022] is John Morrissey, along with his Glasgow-based vodka company, Nero Drinks.
"The Kinahans are not interested in flogging vodka - their real business is cocaine and heroin. It is widely known that the cartel is in partnership with Scotland's Lyons gang, making vast profits from killing Scots."
‌
The couple reportedly have piles of cash and expensive paintings at their Marbella home, with a £350K Rolls-Royce.
Kelly Bo Green
Kelly Bo Green is the daughter of crime boss Jamie Daniel, who died in 2016 from cancer. Kelly was also the girlfriend of Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll, who was Daniels' enforcer, before he was murdered in 2010 at the age of 29. This saw Lyons gangster, Billy 'Buff' Paterson, jailed for life.
‌
Green said at his funeral: "He was a lover, a friend, he was my everything." Their £217,00 home near Glasgow was seized after his death, and she was forced to move out. Her new home in the Scottish city was then reportedly set alight by McGill enforcers Tamo Junto (TMJ) linked to the gang feud.
Green was arrested in 2017 after shoplifting £800 worth of clothes from H&M. She appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and was ordered to carry out 180 hours of unpaid community work as an alternative to prison.
‌
She is believed to be part of the same shoplifting gang that includes her aunt, Annette Daniel, who has 22 convictions for shoplifting and has spent time in jail for theft, reports the Daily Record.
Caroline Stevenson
Caroline Stevenson is the wife of crime boss Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson, who was jailed for 20 years in 2024 for plotting to import £100m worth of cocaine camouflaged as bananas. While her husband, who was dubbed the Scottish Tony Soprano, remains behind bars, Caroline leads a glamorous life and runs an ice cream parlour in Glasgow.
‌
She is often spotted on social media boasting designer clothes and isn't shy to flaunt her wealth. During her husband's trial, she reportedly shared an image of a banana with the caption, "bananas can put a smile on your face", alongside five laughing face emojis.
Jane Park
Jane Park made a name for herself after becoming the UK's youngest EuroMillions winner when she scooped £1million at the tender age of 17, back in 2013. She's since been involved in a gang love affair.
‌
Park previously dated Richardson crook David Togher, who is said to have had a romantic encounter with Nicola Cassells. However, Togher is claimed to have cheated on Park with Jodie Steele, his friend Marc Webley's girlfriend. After Togher was seen with Steele, Park is said to have started dating Richardson gangster Webley - for a complete gangster partner swap.
They continued their relationship, but in 2023, Webley was shot dead outside an Edinburgh pub on New Year's Eve. Park shared on Instagram at the time: "If I could cuddle you again and tell you everything is going to be OK I would give anything to do it Marc.
‌
"The months we spent together taught me some valuable things in life and I'll never forget you. I am absolutely devastated.
"The best bed for you is up there my handsome [love heart emoji]."
‌
Away from the complicated love life, Park has taken on various modelling jobs and gone under the knife for plastic surgeries, including a breast enlargement that took her from a 34B to a 36FF. In 2017, she went through a terrifying ordeal and nearly lost her life after contracting sepsis following a Brazilian butt lift.
In 2023, she told her 220K Instagram fans that she had gone to Turkey for a second boob job and liposuction. It was also reported that she was making money from posting racy snaps on OnlyFans.
Jodie Steele
Jodie Steele, 41, was said to have been in a relationship with Marc Webley for around 15 years. She later sparked a romance with Richardson mobster David Togher, and they are thought to still be together today.
Togher was only released from jail in 2023 after a six-year sentence for slashing the face of alleged heroin kingpin Sean 'Lugs' McGovern in 2016. Togher reportedly fled a gang attack earlier this year after he is said to have ran away from an armed thug who could have been targeting him.
