Notorious Liverpool gangster killed in Holland nine years after 'committing a double murder' was shot dead while trying to collect a debt

A notorious Liverpool gangster named Paul Parker was killed in a violent incident in the Netherlands in June 2026. According to the Daily Mail, Parker was shot dead while attempting to collect a debt inside a garage in Heerhugowaard. The incident involved a confrontation where Parker allegedly stabbed two men before being shot by one of them. Police responded to the scene with armed units and a helicopter, arresting the two men involved. Parker had previously been linked to the 2017 double murder of Dutchman Pieter Hoovers and his Thai wife Tae Kawepanya in Amsterdam. At the time, Dutch authorities had released CCTV footage of a British suspect and offered a reward for information leading to his arrest. Parker was identified as the suspect, though no formal charges were mentioned in the article. The Daily Mail obtained a photo showing Parker with Hoovers, suggesting a prior relationship. Parker had fled the UK approximately 25 years ago and had a history of criminal activity, including a 1993 conviction alongside his brother for the murder of a teenager during a failed drug deal.

Recovery driver, 41, guilty of killing teenage girlfriend with his truck after she had a baby with another man

Mohammed Azim, a 41-year-old recovery driver, was found guilty of murdering his 19-year-old girlfriend, Lily Whitehouse, by using his truck as a weapon. The incident occurred in Oldbury, West Midlands, when Azim allegedly crushed her against a lamppost. He initially claimed she was a victim of a hit-and-run. The couple had met in 2023 when Whitehouse was 16, and they had a sexual relationship. They separated briefly when Whitehouse became pregnant by another man, but rekindled their relationship after she gave birth in September 2025. On the day of her death, Whitehouse visited her newborn daughter in the hospital before meeting Azim, who instead of taking her home, drove her to a location where he allegedly chased and assaulted her. CCTV footage showed him pushing her along the road before the fatal incident. Azim was convicted of murder by a 10-2 majority after a two-week trial and will be sentenced next week.
