Gang enforcer who scalped woman helped source guns and grenades for gang boss

A brutal gang enforcer with a history of violence helped source a gun and grenades for his boss after his stash house was raided.

As well as sourcing multi-kilo Class A drug hauls that they distributed across their elaborate networks, the gangsters also plotted revenge on anyone who crossed them. Woodford, seemingly for no reason, had snuck into her house before attacking her with a machete. As she cowered behind a chair, he pulled her up by her ponytail, and while shouting "Apache", hacked it off. His only defence was that someone had spiked his drink with drugs while in a pub that night.

Jason Osu - a 31-year-old pilot - was shot and killed outside his home on Beauclair Drive, Wavertree in November 2012. Two years later gunmen Delta cab driver Paul Croxton and Thomas White - and George McGovern - an organiser of the shooting - were jailed for life. Woodford went on trial the following year accused of organising the murder, as well as the attempted murder of another man, Darren Alcock, and involvement over a spate of shootings in Maghull.

Woodford's criminality went under the radar of law enforcement for a number of years, but following the EncroChat hack, police saw his involvement in the Coggins gang. The Echo understands Woodford was supplied by the gang, and in turn was deployed by them as an enforcer. Armed police also visited an address linked to Vincent Coggins to issue a disruption notice - a warning not to engage in any criminal activity. Undeterred, he continued to set in motion plans to kill Brian Maxwell Jr, as well as two other men he believed were involved - Michael Eves and Iyobosa ‘Bosa’ Igbinovia. On May 28 Jarvis messaged Vincent Coggins alleged evidence that the pair considered incriminating the three men even further in the robbery.
