The damaged mobile Sean Orman hid from police
David McMillan, 50, survived a machete attack at his home in Pitcairn Grove, Edinburgh, on march 13 2019.
Orman had denied carrying out the £10,000 contract hit, insisting he was elsewhere at the time, and the attack on Mr McMillan.
But during his trial at the High Court in Edinburgh it emerged in evidence that he had admitted having ‘encro’ messages on his phone – a reference to EncroChat, encrypted messages which are used by crime gang bosses to co-ordinate drug deals, beatings and murders.
Law enforcement agencies, including Police Scotland and the National Crime Agency, are studying encrypted messages which are believed to name the major players on the Edinburgh drug scene.
