The Essex Boys (1996) Chan 4 Dispatches
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2018
- Featuring Bernard O`Mahoney who describes how, when the heat was on regarding the Leah Betts investigation, it was agreed an innocent man would be blamed to deflect enquiries away from the Firm. (Tucker etc...had that very weekend, received the shipment of dud cannabis from Steele and Whomes and the police were all over him because of the Betts enquiry. (So much for drug dealing villains having any sort of code) After Leah's death and the Rettendon murders O`Mahoney named Murray in court and so Packman was quite rightly acquitted, Murray was never charged.
Leah Betts just needed someone to calmly walk her round the garden and she would probably have been fine. Instead people screamed and shouted at her and forced her to drink litres of water. She actually died of water toxicity. That’s never mentioned..
Yes that's what killed her your right I read that my self
Bang on mate,she was having a E ' Moment ' and just needed a cool head to calm her down and you're correct,she effectively drowned by the amount of water she consumed,which flushed out the salts and minerals from her vital Organs
Exactly well said , just gov control again but she ok smoking booze war fkin deluded most people
That’s what makes it extra tragic. Most folk too mashed on a pill will have a bump and be straight in a heartbeat
Salt water down her throat would have helped her throw up, always a winner 👍
Bernard O'Mahoney has made a living off talking about these murders. Countless books , countless documentaries.
well ard.
Fkn grass and Police informer
Better than a nine til five, fair play
This is very true!
Id say he tried suing sky for making that documentary. Only uncle fester the founding father of the Essex boys can talk about the murders
Mad how Bernie put a sad face on , then slated them every opportunity after 😃
He talks out of his pooper
Mahoney is out to fill his pockets😂
Dispatches was a great TV doc maker in the day👍
still is ! .... Unreported World is also awesome if u havent seen it
@@robs2000 I have heard of UW but Dispatches is nothing like that era dude Lol !!!!
4:10 "Pure ecstasy?" Now there's a rare phenomenon!
This was before the pre cursor was banned Europe wide.
Lol Raquels is such an Essex sounding nightclub. Wall to wall slappers in stilettos and bellends in Top Man shirts. Chav central no doubt😑.
Wall to wall slappers sounds ok bud!
@@jasoncooke1999 Hahaha! I totally agree😆
I have no idea what you just said. Need a translator for that Brit slang.
@@blumpkinspicelatte4580 slappers is whores (girls) bellends/chavs is wanna be gangsters. (boys) if your american :)
@@blumpkinspicelatte4580 easy women and Jack the lads, men with bad taste in clothes and cars who like to fight at Weekends and the women are not only easy but generally airheaded too and usually sleep with a different man every weekend in return for free drinks, chav means "council housed (projects) and violent"
I’m sure those Bar Birds from Raquel’s have been on a Ben Dover filum
that blonde was an escort deffo
Between Bernard and Nipper… 2 blokes who can make up what they like to get paid. If they were that involved they would keep their gobs shut for obvious reasons.
She chose to take the drugs, no one forced her. There will always be drugs and there will always be dealers, if it wasn’t Pat, Tony or Craig selling the drugs then some other dealer would’ve sold them, but in the end she swallowed the pill.
Agree I use to get fucked up in the day but I choose to take them and enjoyed it but you will never stop drugs or dealers
She was a kid.
@Floyd1504 She was a kid. You don’t have teenage kids, I take it.
@@bowjana8128 Soons you grow up...have kids of your own .. You'll understand why the grown ups don't do that shit....
Yes i agree, it was just a sad situation, i used to take it alot when out partying and dint regret it, people die more from alcohol, like i said just a unfortunate sad situation
36:22 that look of frustration on B OM’s face when he realizes it’s probably not a very good idea to lamp that reporter right on the bridge of his nose
Good documentary.
No such thing as a drug free club.
No one would go.
They might be called 'Tearooms', but even tea is a drug!
Spot on
They thought they were asleep? Who sleeps with their jaws exploded and eyes hanging out?
I understand with pat cause he was slumped over and didn’t look that bad considering what happened but yeah tony had no lower face and rolfes eye was hanging out hahaha
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 I know one of the farmers knew them aswell didn't he and how could he think they was asleep with blood everywhere all over the windows they looked so peaceful he said
Sometimes me mate, I suffer from lock jaw, and i rest the eye on the pillow next to me lol
@@Deeky76 lol 😆 😂 🤣
No, he thought they were sleeping when he was approaching the car. This was due to how the bodies were arranged. But he quickly realized they were dead when he got close enough to see the blood.
People want to blame drug dealers but what about the people that are taking the drugs themselves? They need to be part of the blame as well!
Exactly. She wasn’t forced to take the pills. Who cares who sold it? She took it her own decision and bad choices
I know no one forced them to take it
The drug didn’t kill her. The rapid intake of water did- when dad turned up at her party. RIP LB😔
The drug did kill her, if she hadn’t of took the pill she wouldn’t be drinking lots of water
@@Planet-Pantera good way to look at it. I seen a few people fall into seizures in clubs off bunk pills. Lucky I got out unscathed tbh in my raving years
@@Planet-Pantera Ah! Ok! My response was biological. Yours emotional. The fact is that millions of people take drugs worldwide. It’s a choice. Not one I endorse- but they do. Hysteria won’t help them. Fire and brimstone doesn’t stop them. Need to find another way….
The reason it was big news was due to the fact that it was so rare for someone to die from an ecstasy tablet. Compared to how many pills were taken every weekend anyway.
@@evesunshine3419 completely, every word you just said.. well said 👏 👌
Darren gee calls him Bernard mahogany 😂😂😂
I prefer Bernadette Baloney 😂
21:32
Heavens - I'd never have guessed they were from Essex.
lol when the mother compares dropping an e to having a pint…..you’re right there ain’t no difference.
Leah Betts would have been 41 years old this year... Tragic waste RIP ❤
MyIceman12345 yes it is . Such a shame
What year did this happen?
Was November 1995 just before the Essex boys got gunned down.
She shouldn't have taken drugs then 🤡🥱🙄
nobody forced her to take drugs.
O'Mahoney is as guilty as the one who supplies the drug, as guilty as his boss, as guilty as the one who imported the drug and his more guilty than all of them because his the one who allowed them a free hand and get something out of it, so why his free? why his allowed to publish a book about his crime? why journalists are giving him intention? This says it's not bad to be bad cause you will be famous at the end of it no matter what.
He also bought the RR that they got blasted in. It's all out there.
Him and nipper probably killed them
@@Nugzz187 DH shot them and not the one from Canning Town either, but he did set it up on behalf of a certain individual.
@@IKB28513 😂😂😂😂
BO is more dangerous than anyone knows ex military probably an intelligence asset probably the C K of the 3
Bernnie is abit of a bellend imho. Hes made fortunes off this story and acta like he knows everything about everything. I remember the truth documentery being on this channel, let me guess Bernnard got intouch, and made you to take it down?
What documentary is that mate
How many has he taken down , every single one but how .
Leah died from consuming too much water in a short space of time.
Kurt Daluege is that what it was? I still remember at the time of those ‘sorted’ posters and being abit shook about taking a pill.
Tbh I was 16 at the time she died and I'd been out Raving in Reading that weekend and me and all my mates had those exact pills over that weekend I remember when it said in the news paper it was one of those Apple Es she had,, she took 1 but I know it wasn't the pill that killed here as I'd done about 4 ove the weekend the very same weekend she collapsed and fell into a coma.. As it was in the paper on Sunday morning.. they were good strong pills I will admit that but it was because she drunk to much water and that's what killed her sadly..
Thought they were to strong tbh plus water
@Lynn Hexler-Haan No, they can't. 99.999999999etc% of them are morons.
@@thrale no , she wasnt dancing. 7.5 litres in 40 mins. Unable to pass urine.
Very sad case I remember when it happened
Killed before 8pm and the range had been there all night yet there's no frost on the motor.
The engine was running with the heater on.
killed around midnight, no frost because dew point had been reached earlier in the evening so no moisture in air to form frost on their car.
Let’s not forget the parents,who have lost a daughter.God bless them
‘The firm’ with ‘up to 80 people’ 😂😂😂 what a joke man. Creases me up everytime I hear that 🤣🤣🤣
Y
They were never a firm. They were small time in the grand scheme of things
@@SW-kr9flthey supied door men to night clubs, so they were their firm.
There’s nothing wrong with ecstasy if you’re taking it properly, infact it’s one of the best feelings there is hence it’s name, it’s just the people who don’t understand recreational drugs that slag them off. Alcohol is much more devastating and harmful, wrecking families and generally brings out the worst in people and yet that’s still legal. Leah Betts was just unlucky and that’s unfortunate for her and her family, but what would be the difference if she had been in a drunken car crash but instead of only killing herself she took others with her surely that’s worse. She was 18 and it was her choice to take the pill, in my opinion the situation with her was managed badly, if medical attention had been seeked as soon as there were any problems detected she’d probably not have died it’s that plain and simple. It’s a tragedy and sad but the choice to take the pill was hers, RIP Leah
Right?! Well said!
correct the thing is the media and her family made out it wa her first time takeing a pill ,yet alot of her uni friends said ,she had dropped pills before
@bailey2913, @karlkuttup, since ecstasy is ILLEGAL, there is no regulation w/regards to it's ingredients. It's a mash-up of who knows what that results in pills of different colours and different strengths. Even if Leah Betts had taken it 'properly' or been taken to hospital sooner, there is still no way for medical staff to have known exactly what had been ingested. The fact that Leah had taken ecstasy previously, just adds to the sentiment of anger. Like who the eff are these grown ass men, who should have known better, making a fortune off selling illegal substances to kids?? KIDS, not grown ass men like themselves, but the most vulnerable within the nightlife. These men were in a position of trust yet operated in the total opposite way of what is expected of door security. A cover up for running the countries biggest drug ring. It was much more than ecstasy. These people were scumbags and left a trail of devastation in their wake. Taking advantage of kids, beating lads to a pulp every weekend. They were out of control, demanding respect whilst respectfully destroying lives! It's that simple.
Spot on mate
@@reeva5735Pal, Leah didn't die from ecstasy toxicity, she died from drinking 10 pints of water straight off, thus causing her brain to swell and shutting down of her organs. Nothing to do with 'E'.
Bernard O GRASS
Bernard o range rover killers lol 😆
Is it true about Leah Betts grandad being the police commissioner of Essex police? Don’t know if it’s true or not but I did read it sumwhere
Her dad Paul was ex high ranking armed police.
Bar staff aren't there to decide if people are breaking the law they're there to serve drinks nothing more
Bernard is a grass..
Mickey Mcavoy why?
In awe at the size of the guy at 10:57 on the right. An absolute unit.
What’s the track at 25:26 please?
Lol I used to love that track back in the rave days too.......,I wish I knew it too!!
You've probably got it by now but if not it's awesome 3 - don't go

"Not 1 hard case in Scotland" supposedly
this documentary is well ard.
His whole life’s he’s been making up bull shit to get money
Beats working in a sandwich factory, I guess
I'm sorry but Leah has no one else to blame but herself. There'd be no supply without demand, & this wasn't her first time regarding taking illegal drugs.
Appreciate this is two years later, but wanted to say my brother knew Leah and she is not the Angel her parents made her out to be. She wasn't a stranger to a scrap , and yes you're right, it wasn't the first time she had done an E.
These reporters dont help. Pompous man who have never had any contact with gangsters. Except for there interviews with the former
Maybe it’s nothing, but I’m certain that’s the white Sierra Cossie outside the police station at 12:33 which was mentioned countless times as being seen near the lane when around the time TT&R were killed?
Anybody know the tune at 6.10?
Agadoo by Black Lace 👍

What’s the acid track at 13:04 anyone ??
Maurice this is acid remix
@@brianmunich553 It’s not Maurice this is acid it’s very similar though
Tried shazam, doesn't pick it up 🙄
In regards to how much respect and weight the Kray twins carried, it's surprising no-one went after the men who actually put them away.
The police put the Krays away.
I think ppl where just sick of their noncey ways !
@@MrDavevo76 easy to say about nonce ways shame you didn't say it when they were alive
The Krays didn't actually have the amount of weight and respect that the press and their own books have claimed I remember most of the chaps were received when they went down. I remember going into a pub and they were singing "Ronnie Kray has gone away gone away" to the tune of London Bridge is falling down. They were a liability and bullies
@@robertcramp8705 maybe he did. Even inside the firm they were known as Gert and Daisy after a comedy duo featuring two old char ladies a bit like Hinge and Bracet . They were feared but not respected despite what they say in their books
I have a few thoughts on Bernard and sure many will...
I do too probably the thought you are thinking too
Yeah I reckon he’s very capable
Me too and they're not all good
Tucker’s mullet is now living its own independent life.
Settled down with a hairpiece ,had a couple of wigs and lives out in the sticks where it can often be seen out and about walking the family Labrador….
See now that's funny.
Bernard you have blood on your hands you are guilty as a person actually supplies that pill to Leah
21:35 them 2 girls , staff at Raquels have obviously been coached in what to say for the camera
Scumbags doing that injecting people they where a bunch of bully's
That pic of mahomie @12:48 lol
Clearly sampling the merch 😂
Is bernard a grass?
💯
Murray's barnet is an arrestable offence on its own.
Him and tucker had the same hairdresser
Don't mess with the top dogs lol
Anyone else just try half a pill the first time you took an E, me and my mates thought just doing half would stop us doing a leah betts 🤣🙈
I used to have great times in Raquells.
The Bull is in Pitsea.
Fair play to the man for not snitching on bernard
Yet Bernard snitches on everyone 😂
Weird the k , used to mKe people talk , hmhm there’s a thought .
Parents are all delusional when it comes to their kids, hope her father finds some peace
He's dead since 2012
Bernard O'Mahoney telling his usual line of made up bullshit.
Why did he call Bernie a liar at end?
Errr I'll give you three guesses...
Is that Billy blundell at 22:01
Sounds like him Doesn't it
They thought they were asleep? They were completely disfigured. Tony tucker had his jaw and teeth blown to the opposite of his face, his skull was fractured into pieces to the extent where to could see the fractures defined through the skin. Oh and pat tates eye was hanging out
It was Rolfe's eye which was hanging out....
@@Deeky76 ah, was it really? Jeez their faces looked so different compared to photos taken before the shooting so It's difficult to tell who is who. Ive seen the documentary made by the Birmingham bouncer who used to work the doors with them (the skinhead brummie) and in his doc it says Pat Tate was the guy with the eye hanging out. Their faces are so distorted its difficult to tell. Scary.
@@billbailey1511 It's very scary.... Have you seen all the photos of them on the slab then?? ... Jesus it's frightening, Pat was the only one who didn't have his face shot off which makes me think that the intended targets were Tucker and Rolfe.. They're heads were blown apart..
@@Deeky76 yeah they're the ones I saw! They were terrifying mate. Their bodies still sort of looked like they were sitting in car, because of their legs being slightly bent where rigomortis kicking in. Yeah you could be right. Scary stuff mate.
@@billbailey1511 Absolutely mate, That was an execution with sheer hate and vengeance.
If you ask me, They wanted Tony and Craig a damn sight more than they wanted Pat. I'm pretty much in line with Pat Tate's mother on this one, She said Pat was going there only to make sure Tony had back up...Billy B also warned Pat that his association with Tucker was basically like playing russian roulette...I don't think Pat was the intended target, Just a bonus that he was there in the cops eye's
If I had a pound for every time i watched this i be a lot happier
Bernard O'Mahoney killed the Essex Boys with his farts and BO.
Annoys me all the Leah Betts stuff. I was the same age as her when she died. She took an E knowing fine well what it was. I’m sorry, but she is responsible for what happened to her, nobody else.
Every individuals choice,do I or don't I.
The advice at the time was to keep hydrated, this advice was targeted towards the ravers AT A RAVE, Betts was at a house party with her ex high ranking armed police, father, keeping tabs on them. He would have been the one insisting that Leah drank lots of water. She died from an excessive intake of water.
Oh yes
1:28 sounds like a scene off Brass Eye
😂
Exactly what I thought. 😂
@@DrB81 this was the *one thing* we didn’t want to happen
@@BossySwan Got any clarky cat?
@@DrB81 are you the boz boz?
Craig had one foot on the brake and the other in the grave
Andy Raison 😭
Who tells you to sit where you are keep yer hands on the wheel ,dnt move .and who used white coswrth that was saw on the night .tyre marks in lane , the proofs there .just no one puts it together.
Because it was covered by the people meant to solve it ,who had dirty hands .
Fact: lea dad was ex police he definitely ordered the hit on these 3. Then pinned it on the guys that are still in jail
Not quite sure if you know what “fact” means
They were pros, unlikely that Betts father knew them, whoever it was had spent time in the military due to the quick clinical nature of the murder.
None of the 3 moved, meaning they were dead before they could get out of the car.
Source trust me bro lol
If you go down to the woods today your in for a big supprise.
The firm 😅😅😅. No one outside of Basildon had ever heard of them. Even the Range Rover was on finance!
Has anyone thought Tate was in on a double cross,but he never knew till it was literally on top,that he was part of the "menu" all along?
That BB interview was a massive red herring.
You might have a point there. I thought it a bit strange that BB
Would mark Tate card there was no guarantee he wouldn’t tip Tucker off. Maybe it was Tate who lured the other two to the lane for a meet. Thinking they were going to get taken out. And maybe the fact he would serve his friends up is what got him topped as well. I never believed Whomes and Steel were involved. I can’t see that a person was in the car with them I think they agreed to meet someone there they trusted because none of them were armed so they mustn’t of deemed the person a threat. And if Tate was in on it he would have felt secure that he’d by walking away from it.
@@ellenlyons4090
Blundell was what you would call a top level crim.
For someone like to say on video that he warned Tate if he kept hanging around with tucker and it came on top,then he(Tate) would also be in the firing line.
That comment alone tells you that Blundell was distancing himself from what he knew.
And you commented that you do not believe steele/wholmes were not at all involved?!
So please explain why oh why they were ANYWHERE near THAT lane,on THAT night?
Why did they lie sooooo blatantly in court about their whereabouts?
Why did they both give alibis in court that were not only laughable,ripped apart in court but turned out to be total lies?
If they were upto other criminality,at least admit to them as they were facing a TRIPLE murder charge!!
@@milolee1725 well like you said Tate could have set them up to be taken out and got taken out himself. BB must of know it was going to happen to warn Tate. Or was Tate there to discuss getting them to the lane. I think that what was done to Kevin Whiticker was probably what sealed their fate. BB knew Tate wasn’t involved in that he was in prison when that happened. So maybe he didn’t want Tate to get taken out with them.
I don’t think Steel and Whomes were there Steel had a petrol receipt date and time stamped. Whomes never said he wasn’t in the area he fixed Nichols car for him. Perhaps Whomes was set up to be in the area in order that he and Steel could be set up. As the were usually together. Why did Donna Jaggers Craig’s wife say they were going to meet mad Micky Bowman in her first statement and also told Sarah Saunders Tates ex the same . Yet on a second statement she changed it to Micky the pilot. She saw a bloke in a white car outside Tates as they were leaving and Steel was walking in. But she didn’t pay no attention and couldn’t say what he looked like but he was younger than Steel with dark her but she didn’t take note of his face. Yet she went to a line up nearly three months later and out of nine men she picked out Whomes as the man who was with Steel. That could have been Darren Nichols who also made so many statements 28 before he got the story straight. That’s why I don’t think they was there. You say why didn’t they just say where they were I think they did tell the truth. Because if you was gonna take three people out I’m damn sure you’d have a better alibi than fixing a car and a petrol receipt.
@@ellenlyons4090
Oh dear!..you have made what look like valid points BUT...a little scratch and the holes start to quickly appear.
That petrol "receipt" that was produced in court was very quickly rubbished out of court.
You see the receipt was for a petrol car,steele's car ONLY took diesel,or the other way round!
You also say that wholmes was fixing a car that belonged to DN?
I am not sure how much you have delved into this forever going on drama,but wholmes hated the sight of DN!
So you mean to say on THAT cold December night,wholmes drove the 100 odd mile round trip to fix/tow the car of someone whom he could not stand the sight of and had hinted to steele,many a time that he did not trust DN?!..really?
That sit-down that Blundell called you could take one of two ways.
He got along with Tate(when he wasn't.."on it") and he could have genuinely warned Tate to stay away from tucker cos Blundell knew something was going down....OR....Blundell just thought,..fk it,do em all in one go,promised Tate he would become THE man,if he would set tucker n rolfe on a double cross....then whack Tate when it was literally all on top.
That is all IF,it wasn't steele/wholmes all along.
An open mind should be kept when looking at the carry on's in this case.
NONE of the MAIN players can be fully trusted.
Top man bernard 👏
12:48 he looks very… erm…. Focused on that picture. Must be the vitamins that he’s been taking. 💊
Leah Betts took the Drugs willingly. Drug Takers know the consequences. RIP
exactly parents know they failed her, so they look for someone else to blame
The pills were not moody they were just pure quality and too strong for many nothing to do with the suppliers it's the person seeking out drugs that are responsible
That blonde bar tender is stunning lol
Essex slapper
@@jasoncooke1999you are being honest
I bet they all run through her
This documentary reminds me of brass eye
B o'm Grass
easy to fix this prob, all you need to do is make it mandatory to put 1 police officer on ever night club door as a head enforcer with control over the doorman bar staff and the club must pay the police for this officer to come and do this work !! And if that police officer sees or observers anything he thinks is drug related all he needs to do is make a call to the police station for backup
Yeah then watch all the policeman suddenly getting new cars and extensions on there houses
A don’t doubt Bernard was hard man but hard take him serious with that voice
A few ex bouncers selling the same non story
The Essex boys " a gang of up to 80 people"
Lmfao, can anyone name even a quarter of these?
1:44 yeah….the shooter wasn’t wearing gloves 😂
Mahoney's a big daftie
I remember this all when it happened
And yeah all very messy
O'Mahoney was getting a piece of the pie standing guard making sure no one else was selling on his patch.
Leah might not have getting a moody pill, if she'd hadn't of bought from Bernard's employees. He's 100% just as guilty he'd been earning money off pills for years prior to this.
She took it at the home of a (at the time) a serving Police officer, a man who owned a shotgun
Destination dust...carpe diem...mors vincit omnia 🏛🔔🏛
Now this is funny that he says they were his friends and they didn't deserve to die, but then when Danny dyer talks to him he said they were bullies and they deserved to go that way!, to be a good lier you need a good memory..........
This episode did not shock the nation at all.
It was because the daughter of a police man made it headline news.
So who actually was responsible for the killings of the three 🤔
Special forces probably took them out
Pretty spot on. Ex military.
Bernard is the only O’mahoney that says it ‘Oh ma honie’. … everyone else says ‘oh mar nee’
Betts died cause of her own bad choices if she never got drugs there she would have got them from somewhere else or off someone else
Love the ghost photo of reg kray (pause the video and you will see it) bernie o'maphony once again playing the wizard with his lies. It was no secret he hated dave courtney so why would he of been stood in prison with a camera taking pictures? The same reason why he said he was meant to be in that rangerover that night FABRICATED BOLLOCKS
