Social media videos showed Marc Webley taunting his rivals
A man has admitted murdering another man in Edinburgh in a gangland shooting on Hogmanay 2023.
Grant Hunter, 34, shot Marc Webley at the Anchor Inn in Granton just before midnight on New Year’s Eve two years ago.
In the days leading up to his murder, Webley posted on social media daring his rivals to come and get him.
Webley, who was 38 years old, had a history of involvement in gangland violence. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempted murder in 2005.
The indictment against Hunter said the murder was “aggravated by a connection with serious organised crime”.
Two other people – Emma McVie, 27, and Gary Robertson 22, also appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh and pleaded guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice.
