Thug Fam--members in North West and South East Ldn
Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2005 2:10 pm
A GUN suspect wanted over the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky made a rap CD boasting about killing police months before the attack.
Violent gangleader Muzzaker Shah bragged on one track, called Real Killers: "I've got to pop shots, drop cops on the block."
In another he raps about his love of weapons as if they are women with the words: "I've gotta a gun. Till death do me part. Body like chrome, she like the way I walk, like the way I talk.
"She wants me to hug and squeeze her."
On the tracks the thug even calls himself Joe Pesci or P after the actor who plays a psychopathic killer in Mafia movie Goodfellas.
And he refers to the time he appeared on Crimewatch this year after an armed raid on a shop, saying: "Death before they sign that most wanted, Crimewatch hunted."
Shah has been giving away the sick CD on the council estate where he lives.
The 24-year-old is thought to have fired the shot that killed mum-of-three Sharon, 38, during a raid on a travel agent in Bradford last month.
Her colleague PC Teresa Milburn was also hit and injured in the shoulder when three raiders burst out of the building.
Shah is on the run along with fellow suspect Mustafa Jama, 25. Jama's 19-year-old brother Yusuf has been charged with murder.
Detectives have warned the public not to approach Shah and fear he may try to kill more officers if confronted.
On his CD, made while on the run for the shop raid, he raps about dealing crack, possessing guns and fleeing from police.
His nasal rantings are occasionally interrupted by samples from his favourite film, Scarface. A friend said Shah is obsessed with gangster rap music and idolises US star Tupac Shakur, shot dead after predicting his own death in his violent lyrics.
From 12 Shah grew up on the Grahame Park council estate in Colindale, North West London, where neighbours lived in fear of him.
One resident, who did not want to be named, said: "All the young boys who look up to him have been playing the CD since the policewoman was shot. Some are members of his crew, and they would do anything he asks of them.
"From the age of 16 he wanted to live his life like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.
"He has a big collection of gangster films and loves gangster rap.
"Everyone on the estate knows he is dangerous and that they have to do what he tells them to.
"I've seen him take out a gun lots of times on the estate and point it at people's heads.
"He's wild and dangerous and totally unpredictable and everyone's terrified of him.
"Nobody's surprised he's suspected of shooting a police officer. He would shoot a member of his own family if it meant he could save his own skin."
The son of a Pakistani London bus driver, Shah is the leader of a gang called Thug Fam, that has members in North West and South East London.
Mainly made up of young "street names", the gun-toting criminals make money by robbing from drug dealers and holding up shops.
Members are marked with a Thug Fam tattoo on their left biceps and are forced to carry out any crime demanded of them by Shah.
The group have a largely Somalian membership based around Greenwich, South East London.
Shah met the Jama brothers when the pair moved onto his estate about seven years ago.
He is thought to have made the three-track CD, called Thug Fam, in a home studio.
