Shooting victim's violent past
Last night detectives investigating his killing were still quizzing four suspects arrested at the weekend after Southampton magistrates granted an extension for questioning to continue.
A fifth suspect, a 21yearold woman, was bailed pending further inquiries.
Postmortem results yesterday revealed the 23yearold, of Lyon Street,

Detectives confirmed that the incident was drugrelated.
The shooting brought terror to the streets of St Mary's as teams of armed officers swarmed the area. Initially they ordered residents to stay indoors amid fears a gunman was at large,

The victim, who had one leg and was in a wheelchair, was left terrified that Jones was going to kill her after he threatened: "Don't think I won't stick this in you."
The court heard how Jones demanded money, pulling cushions off the sofa, searching handbags and repeatedly saying "Where's your money? I know you have some".
He was jailed for 50 months in 2009,

Specially trained dogs were deployed to sniff out the weapon, believed to be a handgun, while officers searched potential hiding places.
This included searching recycling bins in a nearby housing estate, meticulously sifting through waste which was transferred to other bins to make sure nothing slipped the net.
One resident looking on said: "It's absolutely disgusting where do these people get their firearms from?"
Meanwhile a heavy police presence was kept up in the area, with police officers and police community support officers on bikes, on foot and in squad cars.
Beat officer David King said: "We are out at the moment to offer reassurances to the local community."
Talk in St Mary Street still surrounded the dramatic events two days before, which saw a large section of the street cordoned off.

Amid the hustle and bustle of Saturday morning, the busiest time of week with a street market in full flow,

For Asudullah Aqbari, who runs St Mary's Cash and Carry, he said the first he knew about it was when he saw armed police.
He said: "I was scared because they had guns,

Balvinder Singh, 33, who runs H and R Computers, said: "I was sitting in my shop and suddenly there were loads of police.
"They said there had been a shooting and they told me to go into a shop and not to come out.
"I heard someone screaming from the flat,

Mr Singh said he recognised Jones from the photograph in the Daily Echo as someone who would be out and about the high street. He said: "It is so, so sad."
Another shopkeeper described the shock amid a tight knit multicultural community. He added: "It is tragic because some mother will be mourning at the moment."
Meanwhile residents who lived in the block where Jones was killed were spending their third night in hotel accommodation arranged by police after they evacuated them to help preserve the crime scene.
