• Dale Russell must serve at least 24 years, Martin McCusker 23, Brendan Balloch, Kieran Hendry and Michael Munro 21 each, Jack Benson 20 for providing transport, and Kieran Meechan 17 for his early plea.
• Prosecutors said the group planned the attack, gathering beforehand and concealing their identities before traveling to Mr Canney’s home.
• Neil Canney, 37, was shot when he opened his door as a gun was fired eight times in five seconds, with further rounds discharged into the house where several people, including two children, were present.
