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.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Albion Way, Pendleton, Salford, between Liverpool Road and Salford Crescent at around 6.10pm on Saturday. Officers said the crash involved a Green Kawasaki motorcycle that had been travelling in tandem with another motorcycle in the direction of Salford Crescent before apparently colliding with the central reservation
Mr Corkovic sustained significant injuries and sadly died at the scene. A man, aged 38, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released on bail.
A close associate of Mr Corkovic said: "He had obtained his HGV licence and for the past two years had worked as a driver. He had a new partner and they have baby twins. He had made a new start."
Officers from GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are appealing for witnesses to the crash or anybody with footage of the incident to come forward.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music After your masterplan succeeds and so many of your dreams come true… then what? That is a question a 26-year-old Prince may well have been asking himself after “Purple Rain” transformed him into a global superstar virtually overnight (or whatever passed for “overnight” in 1984). While his rise was gradual — “Purple Rain,” released on this day 40 years ago, was Prince’s sixth album — there’s no disputing the remarkable speed with which his fame skyrocketed during the summer of “Ghostbusters,” the Los Angeles Olympics and “Born in the U.S.A.” Granted, musical careers, like nearly everything else, moved more gradually back then.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sabrina Carpenter revealed to Rolling Stone that Jack Antonoff worked with her on about half of her upcoming sixth studio album, “Short N’ Sweet.” The longtime Taylor Swift collaborator produced and co-wrote Carpenter’s latest hit single, “Please Please Please.” Despite working closely with Swift since “1989” and producing acclaimed albums from Lorde, Lana Del Rey and more, Antonoff’s name often evokes outrage on social media from critics who slam him for having a monotonous production style that has seemingly ruined their favorite artists. Such backlash went viral after the release of Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” earlier this year, but Carpenter has blunt words for the haters: “Fuck them all.” “Fuck them all,” Carpenter repeated.
