Licensed to kill: An interview with Britain’s most controversial police marksman - Part 2

Licensed to kill: An interview with Britain’s most controversial police marksman - Part 2

Police marksman Tony Long was dubbed ‘the Met’s very own serial killer’ by a senior officer after shooting three men dead, including two security van robbers gunned down in seconds in a hail of bullets. In the second part of an interview with award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright, Long describes how he shot gangster Azelle Rodney dead in a car, wrongly believing Rodney was reaching for a Mac-10 submachine gun - and faced trial for alleged murder at the Old Bailey over the killing. Long also explains why he had little doubt he would be acquitted.
