Prison for breakfast row killers
TWO gangsters who shot dead a father after a row in the breakfast queue at McDonald’s were jailed for at least 50 years yesterday.
Horace Campbell blasted Devon Scarlett twice with a 9mm pistol after they clashed at the fast food restaurant in Brixton, south London, in April 2011.
He then pistol- whipped 34-year-old Mr Scarlett as he lay dead and sneered: “You’re not so hot now.”
Yesterday, Campbell, 28, of Anerley, south London, was jailed for life for murder and ordered to serve at least 32 years.
His accomplice, Liam Douglas-O’Callaghan, 18, of Tulse Hill, south London, was ordered to be detained at Her Majesty’s Pleasure – the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence – for a minimum of 18 years.
Judge Richard Hawkins, at the Old Bailey, told them: “The two of you quickly despatched Devon Scarlett without mercy.”
