🎙️ SHOOTING THE MOB – OUT NOW!

As featured on the BBC programme Inside Barlinnie, Frankie’s life was once defined by the brutal, unforgiving realities of survival. This episode is the raw, unfiltered account of a journey from the absolute brink of destruction to a life of profound purpose and healing.

⛓️ The Past: Chaos & "The Punisher"

Long before entering Scotland's most notorious prison, Frankie's path was forged in the chaos of the streets. He takes you directly into his childhood, unpacking a turbulent world dominated by the grip of drug addiction and the lethal reality of knife gangs.

Inevitably, this trajectory led him behind the heavy steel doors of HMP Barlinnie. It was there, surrounded by violence, that Frankie would inherit a fearsome name: "The Punisher." Driven by a fierce street morality, he unleashed brutal, uncompromising vigilante justice on sex offenders as punishment for their heinous crimes. It was a dark, explosive chapter born out of systemic survival and deeply rooted trauma.

🕊️ The Present: Trauma, Recovery, & Redemption

But the story didn't end in a prison cell. True strength isn't just about surviving the chaos; it’s about having the courage to walk away from it.

Today, Frankie is walking a radically different path. Having broken free from the cycles of addiction, violence, and institutionalisation, he is now in full recovery. He has turned his deepest scars into weapons of empathy, actively mentoring others and helping them heal from the very same traumas that once destroyed his own youth.

Alistair Wilson was a 30-year-old Scottish bank manager whose fatal, unsolved shooting on his doorstep in Nairn in November 2004 remains one of Scotland's most high-profile cold cases.

The Murder

• Date and Location: On November 28, 2004, at around 7:00 PM, a man knocked on the door of the Wilson family home on Crescent Road in the seaside town of Nairn.

• The Encounter: The stranger asked Alistair Wilson by name and handed him a blue envelope with the word "Paul" written on it. Wilson went inside briefly, then returned to the door where he was shot multiple times. He died later that evening in the hospital.

• The Weapon: Ten days after the shooting, an antique German-made H&R pocket pistol used in the murder was discovered in a drain a few streets away.
