Terry Fairfield was stabbed in the neck
UVF leader Mark Haddock has been remanded in custody in a court in England charged with stabbing a former pal.
The one paramilitary kingpin had gone the run after brutally stabbing his only friend Terry `The Mechnic' Fairfield in the neck in a drunken rage in England last Saturday night.
However Haddock, who once led the UVF in Mount Vernon estate in north Belfast, appeared before Milton Keynes magistrates court on Wednesday charged with grievous bodily harm and was remanded in custody.
Special Branch agent Fairfield, first unmasked by the Sunday World as a security force informant has been living under an assumed identity for more than a decade after fleeing Northern Ireland. He has been running a pub in Milton Keynes and had been sheltering former Mount Vernon UVF commander Haddock.
Three years ago the Sunday World tracked Haddock to his pal's English bolt hole and confronted him about his murderous past, and how he was allowed to continue working for the security services.
Despite overwhelming evidence that Haddock was involved in up to a dozen murders while working for the police he has evaded sentence.
Fairfield earned his Mechanic nickname because he supplied cars to the UVF for terrorist assaults - most famously he supplied the car used in the Heights Bar massacre in 1994 when six innocents were gunned down in the village of Loughinisland as they watched Ireland play Italy in a World Cup match.
Haddock, who had been making frequent return trips to Belfast to stay with his girlfriend attacked Fairfield - godfather to his child - because of paranoia that his pal was set to give evidence against him in a forthcoming supergrass trial.
