On 12/11/99 Alan Rosser was shot in the head at point blank range with a single shot from a .45 revolver in a gangland style execution. The murder took place in his garage, Imperial Engineering on Eaves Street Blackpool behind the Imperial hotel. Alan Rosser had a few motoring convictions & a minor drugs offence. He wasn't exactly the hardened criminal. He was also well known on the mod/scooter scene as a builder & tuner of scooters and was suspected of minor drug dealing on the mod/soul club scene.
Earlier in the year Alan Rosser was abducted, beaten and dumped by the M55. Garage equipment was also stolen in what Police belive to be a gangland feud over drugs debts. 2 men from Manchester were charged with his murder in 2001 but the case was dismissed.
One thing I find unusual is the use of a .45. The preferred weapon in a profesional hit is usually a .22 as ther's less chance of it jamming. This makes me think it was more at the lower level of gangland criminals
