The family of a killer nicknamed 'Psycho' have scooped £900k on a gambling app after a previous £1million lottery win, it is reported.
Kiaran “Psycho” Stapleton, now 28, shot Indian student Anuj Bidve, 23, in the head as he walked into Manchester on Boxing Day 2011.
During his trial Stapleton referred to himself as a “psycho” and regularly laughed and grinned in the dock.
Now it has been claimed that his brother scooped £900,000 top prize on a £40-a-spin mobile phone gambling app.
His aunt Mandy Burgess also got lucky in 2012 when she pocketed £1million on a special Olympics Lottery draw.
Her late husband was crime boss Damian Noonan who died in 2003 and she was the sister-in-law of gangster Domenyk Noonan.
A source told the Sun : “The family is full of villains.
"But they seem to have all the luck when it comes to the lottery and gambling. It’s sickening.”
Stapleton was jailed for life for the sickening murder of Anuj.
Following the verdict, Mr Bidve’s father Subhash said Stapleton had “openly laughed at the memory of our son” and believed the killer should never be released from prison.
Mr Justice King told Stapleton: “In my judgment, this was no impulsive act on your part. It was a piece of cold-blooded controlled aggression.”
He said he regarded the defendant as “a highly dangerous young man”.
The judge said he had been convicted of the cold blooded murder “in the most harrowing of circumstances.”
When he told dock officers to take Stapleton to the cells, the killer – his hands clasped in front of him, bowed his head in acknowledgement and walked away showing no emotion.
