Granton shooting: Murdered man Marc Webley told enemies 'come and get it'

Mr Webley was jailed for a gangland shooting when he was just 19

A man taunted enemies on social media before he was gunned down outside a pub in Edinburgh.

Marc Webley was shot outside the Anchor Inn pub in Granton just before midnight on Hogmanay.

He had previously posted videos on social media daring his rivals to come and get him.

The 38-year-old had a history of involvement in gangland violence. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempted murder in 2005.

Mr Webley, who was 19 at the time, shot another man in what was described as a failed gangland hit.

Police were called to the pub in Granton Crescent at 23:50 on Sunday. Mr Webley was taken to hospital, along with a 39-year-old man who was also injured in the attack.

In a statement, Police Scotland said a red Hyundai Tucson pulled up beside the men on West Granton Road and carried out the "isolated targeted attack".

The driver got out and fired the gun before getting back in and heading towards Leith. Detectives believe there was at least one other person in the car at the time.

Officers investigating the murder recovered a car in the city's Darvel Gait on Tuesday afternoon. They said inquiries are ongoing to establish whether this was the vehicle involved in the shooting.

Before his death, Mr Webley posted two videos on social media in which he appeared to tell his enemies that he would be in the pub and to "come and get it".

In the first video, seen by the BBC, he is seen speaking directly to the camera.

He said: "You could come to the pub. I'll only be here a couple of hours. It surely [gives] you enough time. You've had all day to make an effort.

"Come and get it. I don't think you'll come."

Floral tributes to Mr Webley have been left at the scene of the shooting

He also makes reference to firing guns, adding "I've never missed".

"Enjoy your night, guys. I will. Come and get it. We put the city on the map," he said.

In a second video, apparently filmed later, he said: "Still at the pub. Wee bit drunk so you'd be at an advantage, it would be a good advantage. I don't see it though. Nah, honestly I don't. Come and give me a wee tuppence and you get a strike that ends the show."

Police have not yet officially released the dead man's name.

Those paying tribute to him included his brother and his former partner, Jane Park, who won £1m on the EuroMillions lottery when she was 17 in 2013.

Ms Park said she was "devastated" by Mr Webley's death.

Parts of Granton Road and Granton Crescent remained closed for police investigations on Wednesday. Floral tributes have been left outside the scene of the murder.

Investigations are continuing in the area close to the crime scene

Det Supt Graham Grant said: "An extensive police investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and we are doing everything we possibly can to identify and trace whoever is responsible.

"We are appealing for any information or footage of the suspect vehicle and its movements before and after the incident happened. If you saw this vehicle in the surrounding area late on Sunday evening, we would like to hear from you.

"Our thoughts and condolences remain with the family and friends of both men involved," he added.

Police said the other victim of the attack remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
