text: Two hitmen associates of a ‘Freddy Krueger’ killer who tried to gun down a rival during London’s bloodiest gang feud have been jailed for a total of 44 years today. Christopher Annan, 24, and Tyrone Wright, 20, took part in a gun attack on Tottenham Turks gang member Inan Eren. The 35-year-old victim, who survived, was ambushed as he arrived home on the evening of 30 December 2012, shot three times in the arm, stomach and buttock. The attack was led by hitman Jamie Marsh-Smith, 23, a fearsome hired gun who had earned the nickname ‘Freddy’ after the Nightmare on Elm Street killer.

He also took part in the attack on Eren's cousin Inan for which two men were jailed today . The deranged Freddy Krueger. Marsh-Smith got his nickname carrying out contract hits, including the failed one on Inan Eren on December 30, 2012 . He was locked up for at least 38 years in July last year for the attack on Mr Eren, the murder of crime boss Zafer Eren, and a botched attempt to kill his own getaway driver Samuel Zerei, 22. A jury at the Old Bailey this afternoon convicted Annan and Wright of attempted murder after a retrial. They both held their heads in their hands when the verdicts were announced, while cries of ‘they are innocent’ rung out from the public gallery. Judge John Bevan QC sentenced both men at 2.15pm. He blamed Wright’s parents as the two hitmen were jailed for the gun attack which has left victim Inan Eren permanently on crutches. Annan, the older of the pair, was jailed for 24 years with a five year period of extended licence. Wright, who was just 18 at the time of the shooting, was jailed for 20 years. ‘It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to have to sentence young men such as yourselves for serious gun crime of this kind’, said Judge Bevan. He said the ‘medieval turf war’ between the two Turkish families had now reached ‘epidemic proportions.’ ‘It’s high time the two families and their connections realise the manipulative and lawless behaviour will have consequences beyond the normal level of punishment,’ the judge added. ‘This was professional offending by a gang acting for profit as hitmen, of which Jamie Marsh-Smith was in charge and the leader.’ The judge said there had been 26 incidents in the drug war between the Tottenham Turks and the Hackney Turks since 2009, including 19 where guns were used. Annan was jailed for three-and-a-half years in 2006, when he was just 16, for stabbing a boy who had punched him. He was jailed for three years in 2008 for dealing crack cocaine and heroin, and was also convicted of possession of heroin in 2012. He was jailed for 38 years for the shooting of Inan Eren, the murder of his cousin and crime boss Zafer Eren and a botched attempt to kill his own getaway driver . Inan Eren had given evidence in court on crutches, and still has one of the bullets lodged in his body. He was gunned down by his front door as he desperately tried to get inside to escape the gunmen. ‘I accept he thought he was going to die, and he was shot in the presence of his wife and child’, said the judge. The judge added he could not be sure who the gunman was during the attack, but accepted Wright had played a lesser role as a junior member of the crew. Getaway driver Samuel Zerei was shot by Marsh-Smith because he feared he would ‘blabber . Annan, of Denham Road, Whetstone, was told he will serve at least two thirds of his 24 year sentence before being released. Wright, of Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, was told by Judge Bevan: ‘I feel sorry for you for the lack of parental discipline and guidance, which so many young men like you suffer.’ Relatives of the two men stood weeping outside the Old Bailey for over an hour after the pair were jailed. When jailing Marsh-Smith in July last year, Judge Bevan condemned both sides of the Turkish gang war that has claimed five lives since 2009. ‘The use of the streets of this city for the Turks to fight a medieval turf war over drug distribution, in this case using Afro-Caribbean males as hitmen, is as intolerable as it is unacceptable’, he said. Today’s verdicts are the latest chapter in a ‘bloody and lethal’ feud between the ‘Tottenham Turks’ and the ‘Hackney Turks’ criminal gangs in north London that has raged since 2009. In March 2009 innocent shopkeeper Ahmet Paytak, 50, was shot dead at Euro Food and Wines in Hornsey Road, Holloway, by Ricardo Dwyer, a hitman hired by the Hackney Turks. Dwyer, then 27, was jailed for 32 years in December 2013 for the attack, which seriously wounded Mr Paytak's son Huseyin, then 21. On October 2, 2009, Tottenham Turk member Oktay Erbasli was shot and killed while driving in Tottenham. Three days later the Tottenham Turks took revenge with the shooting of 21-year-old Cem Duzgun at a social club frequented by Hackney Turk members in Upper Clapton Road. The feud continued with the murder of Ali Armagan, 32, near Turnpike Lane tube station on February 1, 2012.

Then on the evening of December 30, 2012, Marsh-Smith, Annan and Wright shot Inan Eren as he arrived home. When Mr Eren survived the attack, the target shifted to his cousin Zafer Eren, another leading member of the Tottenham Turks. At 7.20pm on April 18, 2013, Zafer was shot as he walked through the security gates to his home at Fontaine Court off Southgate High Street in north London. Marsh-Smith donned a V for Vendetta mask before firing seven shots from the pavement, three of which struck Mr Eren in the back. He then escaped in the back of a burgundy Peugeot 308 driven by Zerei. Four days after that attack, Marsh-Smith shot Zerei in Markfield Park, Tottenham because he feared he would ‘blabber’. Marsh-Smith, of Ennerdale House, Green Lanes, Manor House, north London, was convicted of murder and two counts of attempted murder. He was jailed for life with a minimum of 38 years. Zerei, of Hathersage Court, Newington Green, north London, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 28 years. Marsh-Smith’s half brother, Wayne McNeish, 32, of West End Lane, West Hampstead, was jailed for four-and-a-half years in July for perverting the course of justice by helping Marsh-Smith to flee the country after the shootings.
