Greater Manchester Police are hoping the anniversary of the murder of 'Mr Big' will lead to fresh clues to catch his killer.

Paul Massey was shot five times outside his home in Clifton on July 26th 2015 in what detectives believe was a gangland-style killer.

Despite a reward for information and 18 arrests no-one has been charged with killing the 55-year-old security boss.

The gunman was described as white, slim, wearing a hat, which may have been fisherman-style and a khaki long-sleeved top and combat style trousers.

Massey. who was jailed for 14 years in 1999 for stabbing a man outside a club later became involved in the security business and also unsuccessfully stood to be Salford mayor.

Police say a ÂŁ50.000 reward for information about the murder that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this crime is still on the table.

The dedicated information hotline number is 0161 856 9775, or call the independent charity, Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
