A once notorious armed robber who had turned his life away from crime has been killed in a motorbike crash. Pavè "Paul" Corkovic, 60, died after his machine apparently hit a central reservation on a dual carriageway in Salford.
Mr Corkovic was the head of a prolific gang who attacked security guards delivering and collecting cash at banks and supermarkets in the mid 1990s.
During an era when armed robbery was seen by some cynics as Salford's greatest export he was at the top of his game. But in recent years he had escaped his criminal existence after spending a huge part of his life behind bars.
He had a job, had remained out of trouble, and had become a father again.
