Glasgow Crime Stories: 'Christopher Hutcheson wanted to be Gangster No. 1'

But to 23-year-old Hutcheson they were his inspiration.

Hutcheson enjoyed his violent lifestyle and had two tattoos which said Thug for Life and Touch of Magic - which also had Satanic undertones. "He lived his life the way he thought a gangster should and that meant the glamorous blondes, holidays and cars."Like his heroes in the movies, he wanted to show that he was not a man to be crossed - even if those who owned money was his own cousin Daniel Hutcheson.

A few weeks later in November 2001, cousin Daniel, then 23, a former soldier, was lured to the same flat over an unpaid debt. Hutcheson was found guilty by the jury and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment for the double murder, with a minimum term of 25 years before parole could be considered.He was sentenced to life imprisonment at a young offenders' institution and told he must serve at least 17 years.After the verdicts were announced, shouting rang out at the High Court in Glasgow and proceedings had to be adjourned.

"In the case of John Mitchell, having on an earlier occasion stabbed him and three days earlier having spent a day torturing him, you took him to a remote area and without the slightest hesitation threw him off a high bridge and left him to die. In an interview a few days later, a young woman who knew both men revealed how Hutcheson was obsessed with Gangster No. 1.
