The 25-year-old execution killing that's still unsolved

VICTIM WAS IN BED WHEN GUNMAN BURST IN

- DAMON WILKINSON & NEAL KEELING

IT was around 3.45am when the two hooded gunmen broke in through the French doors.

Calmly they made their way upstairs to the bedroom where they thought their target Patrick 'Paddy' Logan was sleeping.

But, disturbed by the noise of the intruders, the 40-year-old had already called 999.

"Yeah, er, I've just been woke up," he told the operator. "There's been two...there's been people down the stairs. They've just ran out, I don't know what's going on.

They've just ran...down through the window." As the operator then asked "Out of your property?" five shots from a semi-automatic pistol rang out.

Mr Logan, 40, was hit twice in the chest as his fiancee Susan Thompson looked on in terror.

Her 16-year-old son, who was sleeping in the room next door, also heard the gunshots and ran in to witness the horror unfold. Two bullets made by the Czecho-slovakian manufacturer Sellier and Bellot were recovered from the scene.

The gun used in the July 1999 killing was 'clean' It had never been used in a crime in the UK before and has never been used since.

The 'break-in' was actually a professional hit. As the hitmen sped away from the quiet cul-de-sac in Withington in a silver Vauxhall Vectra, a murder investigation was already kicking into action.
