Hitmen jailed for 23 years after crippling brother of Scots gangster in bungled attack - The Daily Record: "Eddie Boyd will never walk again after the bungled gangland hit in his home.
Christopher Bailiff and James MacPherson pumped five bullets into him, severing his spine.
Boyd's terrified partner and seven-year-old daughter were at home when the two would-be killers burst into the house last year.
Armed with a 9mm pistol and a .32 calibre handgun, fitted with silencers, they killed the family dog Taz, who was barking and growling at them.
As Boyd grappled with his attackers, he could hear his daughter Amber shouting from the bedroom: 'Dad, Dad, I'm really scared.'
But they failed to kill Boyd, 48 - who had already survived four previous attempts on his life."
