The men, from the South Warwickshire chapter of the Outlaws, were convicted of killing Gerry Tobin, who was shot as he rode along the M40 motorway on August 12 last year.

A jury at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday returned verdicts on the remaining two defendants after spending eight days deliberating the charges.

Simon Turner, 41, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Malcolm Bull, 53, from Milton Keynes, along with Coventry men Dane Garside, 42, Dean Taylor, 47, Karl Garside, 45, and 46-year-old Ian Cameron, all denied murder but were convicted after the jury heard seven weeks of evidence.

Sean Creighton, 44, from Coventry, pleaded guilty to murder and firearms charges before the trial began.

All will be sentenced by Mr Justice Treacy.

During the trial, the jury heard that mechanic Mr Tobin, from Mottingham, south-east London, was targeted simply because he was a "fully-patched" Hell's Angel.

The prosecution told how two separate shots were fired at Mr Tobin, a law-abiding citizen, from two different handguns as he returned to his London home from the Hell's Angel Bulldog Bash festival in Warwickshire.

Both Creighton and Turner, the gang's president and sergeant-at-arms, opened fire from a Rover car which had pulled alongside the victim's Harley Davidson.

The pair, along with Dane Garside who was at the wheel of the car, had waited in a lay-by near junction 15 of the M40, near Warwick, before selecting the Hell's Angel for "execution".
