Description

Dianni Marriott was “almost five” when he heard the gunshots opposite his house in London, UK. His uncle Adrian’s body was discovered with 5 bullets through his head. Fast-forward 15 years. D Boy, 19, is on the police database known as the gangs matrix. He's been arrested 4 times for carrying knives and has a criminal record for robbery and grievous bodily harm, but so far avoided prison. Now he’s a target. For protection he has a bullmastiff dog 'Magic'. He’s had loads of Osman warnings [threats to life police letters] and wants out of life 'on road'. "There's no glory; it's death or prison." Dianni exercises his dog Magic in the park near his home where his uncle was shot five times in the head 14 years ago.
