1:32 horrific Act also working with Wilson was a man named Brian Waters a 44 year old cannabis dealer who was growing plants at burnt House Farm near Cheshire he set up the farm at burnt house with his son and daughter who were adults and a man named Solomon razak whilst Brian dealt for Wilson he kept this operation secret and the operation made around three thousand pounds a month Brian had contacts in the Netherlands and he would often broker deals between Wilson and his other Dutch Associates in 1999 during a return trip to the UK from Holland Brian was caught at a port with 20 000 pounds in cash this cash belonged to John Wilson the money was of
2:18 course from dealing illegal substances and because Brian couldn't give a reason where this money had come from it was confiscated despite this incident Brian and Wilson's Association continued and by late 2002 Brian was involved in dealing other substances on behalf of the mobster but during the Christmas season Brian was robbed this resulted in him owing thousands of more pounds to Wilson plunging him further into debt Wilson was Furious he demanded Christopher's skills and surveillance to be used on Brian and his family he was tasked with trailing Brian's son Gavin from their home and followed him all the way to burned House Farm where they were secretly growing the plants Christopher waited for Gavin to leave and then
3:04 entered the farm coming across the secret operation Christopher re-led this information back to Wilson who was absolutely outraged he believed that Brian was going behind his back and selling without his consent sir Wilson gave the orders for his gang to ransack Brian's Farm steal his plans and Equipment this gang included Christopher a man named Jim's Raven otherwise known as the Milkman due to him being able to deliver when hired to deal with other criminals he was all also somewhat of an intimidating man with tattoos that read Maniac and proceed with caution and there was a good reason for these tattoos there was also Otis Matthews who was Wilson's right-hand man and someone
3:51 who was capable of extreme violence and finally David Moran David would play a no part in What was about to unfold he was there to keep watch for the police whilst the other gang members ransacked the farm but more on his part later Wilson got these four men to do his dirty work and sent them over to the farm when these men arrived nobody else was there they began loading all of the plants and Equipment into a van they had brought with them stealing everything of value they drove the loaded van away to another location and returned to the farm to send a message Suman razak arrived at the farm to tent the plants completely oblivious to the horrors that awaited him little did he know that his
4:37 life was about to change forever as he was ambushed by the men sent by Wilson as he entered the farm razak injured a Relentless barrage of punches and kicks to his face the men started demanding for money but razak had no idea what they were talking about the men then tied him up with robe and suspended him upside down and plunged him headfirst into a barrel filled with dirty water they continued to press razek for the information about the money but razak replied saying that he had no idea what they were talking about so the men then electrocuted him and poured acid on his body the brutality only escalated from there a pillowcase was thrown over his exec's head and set on fire the fire
5:25 burned his shoulders and neck before it was extinguished he was then tortured with an industrial staple gun causing unimaginable pain and torment multiple Staples were into his head and back this horrific torture lasted for well over an hour but he was still alive and then Brian totally unaware of what was happening arrived at the farm Brian was immediately attacked he suffered the same fate as razak he was beaten tied up and lowered headfirst into dirty water razak watched in horror as Brian was subjected to the same torment but they took it a step further one of the men retrieved an iron bar they inserted this
6:11 bar into Brian's illness the bar was pushed into him with such force that it ruptured his insides now as I mentioned earlier Brian's children were part of the operations on the farm and Brian had come to meet them at the farm so they too turned up their names are Natalie and Gavin Natalie was just about to turn 21 and Gavin was 25. as they approached the farm the three men apprehended them and brought them to where their father was held Gavin was horrifically beaten as they demanded Brian to hand over the money Gavin was then tied up and the News was placed around his neck the Rope was thrown over a beam and tightened
6:56 which resulted in him being choked Natalie was also tied up and placed next to her father the gang put a gun in Natalie's mouth and demanded the money from Brian but he didn't have it Natalie would later say they turned his chair around to see me and told him to look at your daughter do you really want her to go through this then one of them sliced off her top with a knife and demanded the twenty thousand to be handed over a bin bag was then set on fire over Brian the hot plastic dripped onto his Exposed Skin the industrial stapler was then fired into his back and skull Gavin and Natalie could do nothing but watch as their father was mercilessly beaten for
7:42 hours after a total of three hours Brian finally succumbed to his injuries and he passed away Natalie would later say that she could hear her father Breathing heavily but then his breathing stopped she knew that her father was dead the gun not yet satisfied with their cruelty then stole Brian's car and made their way over to his home where his wife was they theorized that the missing money could be there so they abducted Brian's wife Julie and she was driven to the farm as I mentioned earlier the Fourth Man David Moran was keeping Lookout whilst he was doing this Wilson told David to call the police and a report that he had seen an attack at the farm
8:28 why this happened is unclear [Music] on the right hand side yep about 500 yards they look like there's three men beating somebody up in these courtyard all right so if you come up with Junction 18 and take the 556 yeah yeah I think it's 18. yeah about 500 yards on the right yeah
9:14 [Music] okay okay so what's your name please I'll look into it for you thank you bye as the men had got to the farm with Julie the police arrived on the scene responding to the call made by David the men ran but Jim's Raven was caught by the police as Otis and Christopher were able to get away as the police descended upon the farm they were met with disturbing scenes of extreme violence and horror they found Brian dead but thankfully Natalie Gavin and rosette
10:01 were all still alive although they were of course extremely traumatized and in horrific pain an autopsy was conducted on Brian's Body they found that he had over 100 separate injuries in what was one of the worst torture cases Britain has ever seen his insides were ruptured by the iron bar he had broken ribs bleeding on the brain fractures to his face a collapsed lung and the list just goes on at the crime scene the kill is Left Behind a trail of damning clues that seemed almost too absurd to be true Peru due to the police arriving unexpectedly the criminals had failed to clean up after themselves leaving behind a treasure Trove of incriminating items scattered all around the crime scene
10:47 wrappings of food and bottles of drink were found all around it seemed that the attackers had indulged in a bizarre Feast whilst committing these horrific acts the police also stumbled upon something incredibly strange a plastic bag filled with human feces as the bag of feces underwent examination it revealed a critical link to one of the perpetrators Christopher Guest mod Jr the presence of his DNA was found in the bag but that was not all as the investigators continued their search they discovered more damning evidence samples taken from a bottle of Sprite and Marlboro Light ends matched Christopher's identity as did a glove found near the main gate of the farm the
11:33 police then found that Christopher had connections with Wilson using mobile phone data as evidence they managed to find who else was responsible for this shocking crime Otis and Wilson were arrested along with David Moran the man who called the police he told the police that he would be a witness in the trial in exchange for a lesser sentence and he turned on the rest of the gang the police then went to arrest Christopher only to find that he had escaped the country they found CCTV footage of him in Liverpool John London Airport on his way to Malaga where he embarked on his life as a fugitive Christopher's father and mother helped him in the Escape they would later receive nine months for helping him evade Justice Christopher vanished into

13:07 years David Moran was sentenced to 21 months for his part in the killing of Brian David was given a lesser sentence as he helped the police with the case because of this he will remain in witness protection for the rest of his life meanwhile Christopher moved from country to Country he found refuge in the Mediterranean Haven of Malta where he assumed a new identity Andrew Lam in this exotic Paradise he lived a life of luxury he lived in a grand villa drove a posh and worked as a luxury yacht Captain to those who knew him in Malta he was a seemingly successful British businessman with connections that reached his bar as the Moroccan royal family and the Egyptian Military as
13:54 Christopher settled into his new life of luxury he believed he had successfully escaped Justice he immersed himself in a world of wealth and prestige relishing in the illusion of safety and freedom however the police were actually closing in on him for 16 long years Christopher guest mode Jr managed to elude justice but in May of 2019 Christopher's name appeared on Europe's Most Wanted list just four weeks after this listing Christopher was identified and caught throughout the Pence taking extradition proceedings that followed he clunked his new identity of Andrew Lam who which further complicated the process but his true identity was soon exposed and he was brought back to the United Kingdom
14:41 March of 2021 marked a pivotal moment as the trial of Christopher commenced at Chester Crown Court he was charged with murder but he denied any wrongdoing and proclaimed his innocence during the trial Christopher's demina seemed composed and Polished when he was questioned by his own Barrister but as the prosecution cross-examined him his facade began to crack the ones brush and arrogant man now appeared to be unsettled with evident gaps in his account and evasive answers in a rather dramatic twist Christopher received unexpected support from his Godfather Stephen Hayes Stephen claimed that he was with Christopher on the night of the murder and that they went to a wine bar
15:26 together this testimony suggested that Christopher could not have been at the scene of the crime leading the jury to deadlock resulting in a retrial in November however this time the jurors were not sweared by the new account as overwhelming evidence was presented over the course of a month despite Christopher's protests of Innocence it became very clear that he had been an eager participant in the heinous violence inflicted on behalf of Wilson after 18 years Christopher was found guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 24 years it then came out that Christopher and James Raven were undercover TV researchers who investigated the criminal underworld on behalf of the BBC
