27 January 2008
Dean Taylor, 47, from Coventry, was found guilty by a unanimous verdict of killing biker Gerry Tobin, who was shot dead on the M40 motorway in Warwickshire in August last year.
The jury at Birmingham Crown Court, which is still considering the case against two other men accused of murder, also found Taylor guilty of possessing a shotgun.
Jurors, who have been deliberating for seven days, have already convicted three other members of the Outlaws biker gang of murdering mechanic Mr Tobin.
Simon Turner, 41, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and Dane Garside, a 42-year-old from Coventry, were found guilty of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life on Monday.
Malcolm Bull, a 53-year-old road sweeper from Milton Keynes, was found guilty on Tuesday of murder and possessing a shotgun.
The jury is still considering its verdicts on two other men accused of killing Mr Tobin, 35, from Mottingham, south east London.
The remaining defendants, who each deny murder and possessing a shotgun, are Karl Garside, 45, and Ian Cameron, 46, both from Coventry.
A seventh defendant, 44-year-old Coventry man Sean Creighton, pleaded guilty to murder and firearms charges before the trial began.
Mr Tobin died almost instantly when he was shot as he rode along the M40 at about 90mph on August 12 last year. The trial has been told that he was targeted simply because he was a "fully-patched" Hells Angel by members of the Outlaws' South Warwickshire chapter.
