Terminally-ill newsagent unmasked as real-life Breaking Bad £52million drugs kingpin
A terminally-ill newsagent has been unmasked as a £52million drug kingpin likened to the TV drama Breaking Bad. Michael Williamson, 77, was found to be behind the huge cocaine operation and led a gang which sold more than half a ton of the class A drug over ten years. In 2019, he was arrested when police raided his home in Salford and his newsagents in Poynton, Cheshire. Officers found £137,000 worth of cocaine, £33,000 in cash and 'meticulous records' of names, deals and debts. Williamson, who had no previous convictions and never married, was found guilty of conspiracy to supply drugs in January at Bolton Crown Court. However, his sentence was waived due to his illness and he died earlier this month. His decision to turn to crime was compared to the popular US series, which sees high school chemistry teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, produce and distribute meth after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Judge Clarke said that Williamson, who was not in court, was at the 'very heart' of the conspiracy. 'There are similarities between Williamson and Breaking Bad,' a source told the Sun. 'On the surface, he was a shopkeeper. In reality, he was trading in a very different powder from the lemon sherbet on his shelves.' In connection with the drug operation, three others admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine last month. Former rugby league player Payden Candland, 33, was jailed for 19 years and nine months. While Leo Groves, 33, received 15 years and Ricky Lee, 32, got seven years.

The British tourist, aged in her 60s, passed away on Saturday following the horrific accident which occurred just after noon, close to the Alpine town of Briançon in the French Alps.

Emergency responders found her and transported her to a nearby hospital in South East France, close to the Italian border. The British holidaymaker sadly died from her injuries sustained in the tragic incident. An autopsy will be carried out on the woman "born in 1956", prosecutors confirmed, reports the Mirror. Authorities have launched a manslaughter inquiry into her death, with Briançon CRS Alpes leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Tragically, this British woman is not the only UK national to have lost their life while white water rafting abroad.
