The short life and gangland death of a child of the drug culture

Article Abstract:

Paul Seddon has been jailed for life for the murder of five-year-old Dillon Hull. Seddon, a contract killer, had been assigned to murder the child's stepfather, John Bates, a small-time heroin dealer who had come into conflict with a local drugs gang. Bates was walking with his stepson when Seddon made the murder attempt, which led to the boy being killed instantly and Bates being wounded. Two other members of the gang who planned to murder Bates, David Hargreaves and Craig Hollinrake, received sentences of 18 and 16 years respectively for conspiracy to murder.
