The latest video of gangland feud shows a car and a van set on fire in Edinburgh
The luxury SUV is parked in the capital's Campion Road, thought to be outside of the home of an associate of crime kingpin, Mark Richardson, 37, who is currently locked up at HMP Low Moss.
The clip shows the Range Rover on fire while the accompanying music in the 22 second clip is from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 1988 hit Two Tribes with the lyrics "When two tribes go to war, a point is all that you can score."
The clip then changes to footage of another vehicle, this time a large white Ford Transit van being firebombed as a masked hood runs back from the blaze, before throwing, what appears to be, more fuel over the flames.
The sinister video - shared by mob group Tamo Junto - ends with a picture of a black chess piece and an egg timer, presumably some kind of symbolic warning from one side to the other.

Police say they received a call to say the Ford van was ablaze at around 3:55am and five minutes later the SUV was torched in the targeted attacks.
It's the second time in a matter of weeks that the Campion Road address has been targeted.
We told last month how a masked trio had raided a house in the same street, smashing their way through windows and doors to gain entry.

"Around 3.55am officers were made aware a Ford Transit van was on fire on Niddrie Marischal Crescent.
"Five minutes later, police received a report a Range Rover Evoque on Campion Road was also on fire.

Scots teacher who made ‘£60k a month' on OnlyFans struck off after pupils found saucy sex pics
The ex-physics teacher was found to be punting X-rated pictures of herself RAUNCHY MISS AXED Scots teacher who made '£60k a month' on OnlyFans struck off after pupils found saucy sex pics Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TEACHER has been struck off after pupils discovered her OnlyFans profile online. Kirsty Buchan, 34, quit her job at Bannerman High School in Glasgow after her saucy side hustle was uncovered. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kirsty Buchan has been struck off from teaching Credit: Alan MacGregor Ewing 3 The ex-Bannerman High teacher was caught sharing indecent images on OnlyFans Credit: Kirsty Buchan The ex-physics teacher was found to be punting X-rated pictures of herself. Buchan, of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, called herself Jessica Jackrabbit on OnlyFans, a site where users pay a monthly subscription to access explicit content. She described herself as a "good teacher gone bad" with a "sexy tight body". Buchan advertised her OnlyFans account through Instagram, which pupils spotted, and previously claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month through the adult site. She was previously warned by her headteacher about her "poor judgment" on social media. And the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GCTS) has taken action by striking her off the teaching register. The regulation body found that Buchan had failed to conceal her identity and profession. It also concluded that her behaviour lacked integrity, as reported by the BBC. Gary Burton, solicitor and presenting officer for the GTCS, said the mum-of-one had "used her profession as a selling tool". He added that Buchan appeared to have backed up her OnlyFans work in media interviews and that Bannerman High was "now synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher". Hundreds of pupils cheered on a teacher about to undergo lifesaving brain surgery - by rocking out to ACDC'S Thunderstruck She resigned from her position at the school in December 2022 after complaints were made. Buchan declined to appear or give evidence at the GTCS hearing. Bannerman High headteacher, Seonaidh Black, said Buchan was a "bubbly and enthusiastic" person who "wanted to do a good job". But she added that on a "couple of occasions", Buchan was unclear on boundaries with pupils concerning her social media profiles being "open where pupils could access them". Ms Black said that a colleague told her images of Buchan's OnlyFans profile were seen by S5 and S6 pupils. Senior schoolboys asked Ms Black if she had "heard the news?" and that she should "look out for Jessica Jackrabbit". Ms Black added that it was "obvious everyone knew what was going on". She tried to contact Buchan after talks with HR, but couldn't reach her. Buchan's OnlyFans profile was discovered just days before teachers went on strike over pupil behaviour. Ms Black said Buchan's activity online and the walkouts have had a "huge impact" on the school. Following a probe, Glasgow City Council said: "The council has a code of conduct that all employees should adhere to and a teacher who has actively pursued a second income on this type of website brings their school, the council and their profession into disrepute." The GTCS has been contacted for comment.

UK's deadliest gang war molls - from model EuroMillions winner to love triangles
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.

British teenager Marcus Fakana jailed in Dubai over sex with girl, 17, pleads for clemency
A British teenager who is in prison in Dubai for having sex with a 17-year-old girl has written to authorities asking for clemency. Markus Fakana, now 19, was on a holiday in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) when he struck up a holiday romance with the British girl who was staying at the same hotel. The girl's mother reported Fakana, who was 18 at the time, to local authorities after discovering messages between the teenagers, and Fakana was arrested. The age of consent in the UAE is 18, and in December, he was sentenced to a year in prison over the encounter. The BBC reports that Fakana has written to the UAE's vice president and prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum from Al-Awir prison, asking to be released. Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai, told the BBC it had been 'the most traumatic and life-altering experience imaginable for Marcus,' adding he had never intended to break the law. "Marcus is struggling, and this experience will leave a permanent scar," Ms Stirling said. "We implore Sheikh Mohammed and the government of Dubai to hear his pleas and let him come home." Ms Stirling told the BBC that parents needed to be aware that behaviour that would not be considered criminal in the UK could lead to criminal charges in the UAE, including drinking alcohol or certain social media activity. The UAE has only recently made sex outside of marriage legal for tourists, but under UAE law the 17-year-old girl was a minor and her mother, her legal guardian, filed the complaint against Fakana. 'What happened was legal in the UK and consensual. But now he is facing permanent damage to his mental health and future prospects because of it,' Ms Stirling said, adding that it was a 'heartbreaking way to begin adulthood'. "If Marcus could go back in time, he would. He has shown remorse and fully respects the laws of the UAE. He only hopes the government will show compassion and allow him to return home to rebuild his life," she continued. Fakana's parents have appealed to the British Embassy in Dubai, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and the Foreign Office for help advocating for his release. A Foreign Office spokesperson said: 'We are supporting a British man in the UAE and are in contact with his family.' Consular officials are understood to be in regular contact with Fakana, his family and his legal team. Mr Lammy said: 'It would not be appropriate for me to comment on any individual case, except to say that, of course, as you would expect his family have had all the full support available.' At the time of his sentencing, a UAE government spokesperson said: 'Dubai's legal system is committed to protecting the rights of all individuals and ensuring impartial judicial proceedings.'
