Tamil Snake gang

Tamil Snake gang

The Tamil Snake gang is a street gang in Great Britain. It is the first of the organised Tamil gangs by men who sought asylum in the United Kingdom. The gang's leader has not been found, but several members have been sentenced for various crimes from extortion and fraud to murder.

In 2003 the Tamil Snake gang killed a man in a feud hours after trying to assassinate the man's brother-in-law. He was shot in his home in Wembley, along with his father in law, who survived.
