The ‘quiet, intelligent family man’ at the centre of three murder cases - Manchester Evening News: "Arran Coghlan is a quiet, hard-working company boss and family man.
But a prosecutor, who handled an earlier – unsuccessful – murder case against him, described him in court as someone who built a crime ‘empire’ using ‘ruthless violence’ to achieve his aims.
Mr Coghlan, 39, explains the difference by saying police have pursued a vendetta against him – running a ‘get Coghlan’ campaign which has repeatedly backfired.
What is clear is he has now been charged with three murders – and acquitted on each occasion."
