THE man alleged to be under threat from a contract killing he believes has been ordered by his own dad today vowed to make Bolton his permanent home.

Sean Keating, 27, now intends to get on with his new life and leave his Salford roots firmly behind him.

His bizarre feud with father Ken was broadcast on national TV last night.

As reported in the BEN last week, Sean has been living on a quiet estate on the outskirts of town after leaving Salford, where he was born and bred.

His father, who claims Sean is a police informer, said on the Channel 4 Cutting Edge documentary: "If I knew what Sean was going to do to his family I would have smothered the little bastard."

But Sean said today: "There was no evidence put forward about where and when I am supposed to have grassed.

"The most important thing in my life now is my new friends, my wife and the children. i just want to get on with my life."

He added: "I want to thank all the people around here who have been very supportive and understanding."
