Notorious hitmen moved to prison isolation amid rising gangland tensions over Spain shootings
TWO notorious caged gunmen have been placed in precautionary isolation amid rising tensions inflamed by Scotland's deadly gang war. Daniel clan hitman Raymond Anderson and Lyons enforcer Billy 'Buff' Paterson have been made the subject of extra measures amid jail safety fears. 4 Police at 2006 garage shooting in Lambhill, Glasgow 4 Raymond Anderson has been isolated for his own safety Credit: Police Scotland 4 Eddie Lyons Jnr (L) and Ross Monaghan were blasted to death in Spain Credit: Les Gallagher It's understood prison bosses acted amid ongoing attacks in Scotland and fears the unconnected double murders of Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, could increase the risks further. Anderson - who gunned down Michael Lyons, 21, in the notorious Lambhill shooting of 2006 - has been moved along with Paterson, jailed for the murder of Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll in 2010. A source said: 'Anderson and Paterson are now both in isolation at HMP Shotts for similar reasons. 'The risk of an attack on Anderson and other high-ranking mobsters like Paterson has never been higher. 'Prison bosses have a tough job as it is and the last thing they need is someone getting done on their watch. 'Even though it's been made clear the Daniels had nothing to do with what happened in Spain, there remains a risk.' Anderson was caged for at least 30 years in 2008 for Michael's murder, along with Daniel clan accomplice James McDonald. We told in 2022 how the assassin who murdered T2 Trainspotting star Bradley Welsh admitted attacking Anderson in a jail assault. Sean Orman, 34, lunged at Anderson, 61, as violence flared in Shotts prison on Christmas Eve 2020. Orman had a further 12 months added to the minimum 28-year term he was handed in May 2021 for shooting Welsh, 48, dead in Edinburgh. Menacing Paterson is said to be a powerful Lyons-linked enforcer inside the Lanarkshire prison. A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson said: 'We manage all people in our care in a way which best meets their individual risks and needs, and supports the safety, security, and good order of our establishments.' Elsewhere, Kinahan cartel leaders are supporting the families of Costa del Sol hit victims Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr and have promised them: 'We'll get this sorted.' And the grief-stricken family of murdered Lyons gang kingpin Ross Monaghan last sensationally said their Daniel clan enemies are not to blame.
