A notorious crime gang has put out a contract on the heads of Ben Kinsella's killers.Associates of the vicious Adams family have vowed to carry out revenge "hits" for the 16-year-old's bloody death.An underworld source told the Sunday Mirror: "His killers had better be watching their backs as they messed with the wrong person. Whoever they are, there is a contract out on their heads."If they're caught and sent to jail they'll get attacked inside and, if no one goes down for it, they'll be in for it outside."This senseless crime was carried out in the heart of the Adams gang turf."Whoever is proved to have done this will never be able to rest. They will be got in the end."The Adams family, from North London, is one of the country's most feared and notorious crime gangs.The vicious group was set up by "godfather" Terry Adams in the 1980s, along with brothers Tommy as financier and Patsy as enforcer, although it's not thought they are behind this threat.The crime empire is believed to have been worth £200million after years of extortion, drugs running and contract killings.Ben - brother of former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella - was stabbed 11 times in a brutal attack after a row in Shillibeers bar in Islington, North London, last Sunday.Three suspects accused of his murder appeared in court on Friday. The prosecutor refused to read out their addresses, saying "there may be reprisals".The suspects - Juress Kika, 18, Michael Alleyne, 18, and Jade Braithwaite, 19 - were all remanded in custody by Highbury Magistrates' Court.The trio will be kept away from other prisoners.Police were last night investigating whether Ben was threatened by a gang before he was murdered, and have spoken to Ben's workmates at an internet cafe.Ben had stopped a group of children stealing a bike and the eight gang members launched a five-month campaign of intimidation against him.Friend James Law said: "Ever since we stopped them stealing that bike, they would come in every week or so and ask where it was. When we wouldn't tell them, they'd shout that we'd be sorry because they'd set their brothers on us."James, who worked with Ben for five months, added: "Ben was a great person to work with. It is awful to think that he might have died just because of a stupid feud over a bike."

Gangs of new Britain

Gangs of new Britain By Olga Craig, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 1:07am GMT 11/02/2007 No one knows for certain which newspapers Terry Adams took. Indeed none of us knows for sure that he took any at all. What we do know, however, is that what Mr Adams did take was a very great deal of pride and satisfaction in the fact that, until last week, his name and photograph were rarely, if ever, to be found in their pages. Not that he isn't a vain man, one for whom reputation, respect and standing matter little. Quite the contrary. Adams is very proud of his notoriety among his local, north London community: what he has spent a lifetime avoiding is public recognition. No longer. This morning, Adams, the godfather behind a £200 million business built on murder, drugs and money-laundering, whose catch-phrase is "give him a slap", will wake up in Belmarsh, south London's high security prison, after admitting a five-year conspiracy to hide £1 million. While he was handed a 14-y...
