HITMAN Eric 'Lucky' Wilson operated in a hitman-for-hire team along with three close relatives, one of whom is suspected of murdering Roma teenager Marioara Rostas after holding her as a sex slave.
The band of blood killers worked as trigger-happy, cocaine-fuelled assassins for every major criminal in Dublin and are believed to be behind countless gangland assassinations.
At one point Eric Wilson compiled a hit list for 'Fat' Freddie Thompson of who he could take out in the rival Rattigan mob.
The list, which was seized during a search of his house in Portarlington, Co. Laois, included the names of Brian Rattigan's sister Sharon, his disabled brother Jason and his then girlfriend Natasha McEnroe.
Convicted
Wilson had done months of reconnaisance on eight associates of Rattigan he believed would be easily shot dead, including the his right-hand man Shay O'Byrne, who would later die in girlfriend Sharon's arms.
Wilson was convicted of murdering roofer Dan Smith in Spain this week, after a court heard he blasted him in the head and twice in the testicles because the Englishman tried to stop him touching up a woman in a bar near the seaside resort of Fuengirola in June 2010.
During his trial it emerged that Wilson is a contract killer. The jury was shown a transcript of phone calls intercepted by Spanish police investigating organised crime and drug trafficking.
The documents related to a conversation between two unnamed criminals after Wilson's arrest. During the call, they discuss how they were worried that Wilson would do a deal and grass up "the boys".
