Tamil Snake gang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tamil Snake gang is a street gang in Great Britain. It is the first of the organised Tamil gangs by men who sought asylum in the United Kingdom. The gang's leader has not been found, but several members have been sentenced for various crimes from extortion and fraud to murder.
In 2003 the Tamil Snake gang killed a man in a feud hours after trying to assassinate the man's brother-in-law. He was shot in his home in Wembley, along with his father in law, who survived.[1]
In 2004 Sugandthan Nadarajah, a member of the Tamil Snakes, killed a young man in his car with an axe in Croydon as revenge for being hit by a car driven by a member of the victim's gang two years earlier.[2]
In 2005 a member of the Tamil Snakes ( Kanagasabi, Thayakaran) attended a party in the west end. He met up with two of his friends at the party and a double homicide took place. Both of the victims were brutally beaten by a pistol and stabbed a couple times.
