A cigarette stub was also found on a windowsill, matching Kelly's DNA, and he left behind latex gloves, showing traces of his DNA and the victim's.Chief Inspector Catherine Pritchard, of Widnes Local Policing Unit, added: "Drug dealing in the town or elsewhere in Cheshire will not be tolerated. The 47-year-old, of Connaught Way, Birkenhead, has spent 15 years in and out of prison for targeting pensioners. An investigation by the Metropolitan Police then revealed how Haase and Bennett had misled the authorities into releasing them early from prison. They were found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and jailed for life. Read More Related Articles

Kelly and Colecozy were convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 22 years each. Owen received six years behind bars for assisting an offender. He said he wasn’t sure what he was shown holding on CCTV, but insisted that he then went to get cable ties to secure Owen’s motorbikes rather than a hammer.Liverpool's courts are some of the busiest in the UK, with a huge variety of cases being heard each week. The prosecution case is that PCs Sean Miley, 31, and Paul Grimes, 37, subjected Mr Bennett to a "sustained" beating in a toilet cubicle, which involved Miley stabbing him in the leg with a shard of porcelain from the broken toilet. While that was happening, it is alleged PC John Thompson, 26, acted violently in the main bar area towards Mr Bennett's older brother, Mark Bennett, while PC Lucy Donaldson, 40, was violent towards bar worker Lorraine Brady, grabbing her hair.

Ms Clancy told the jury that the question for them will be whether the officers used "necessary, reasonable, proportionate self-defence", or whether they were "acting in unlawful violence".The Merseyside PCs, based at Edge Lane police station, were off-duty and on a night out celebrating a colleague getting a new posting when violence erupted at Ava's Bar in Renshaw Street, on July 28, 2020. Judge Menary said: "At around 6am, Grimes returned to the flat. He was in the flat for around half an hour. It is a proper inference that the final episode of strangulation occurred at this time whether at his hand or at the hand of Knox or Wales. Grimes went immediately to MGM Garage and switched off the CCTV system to try to delete it. However, the footage was recovered. The heavy fire damage and horrifying nature of his injuries made identifying him a tragically complex task.

Unfortunately for Knox, his story was full of holes. He had plenty of chances to call off the violence, to show compassion for another human being, but never did. And at times his answers were astonishing in their audacity. Colecozy fled to Manchester, ditched his phone and bought a new one, then travelled to Nottingham, where he was arrested a fortnight later. It is very difficult to govern violent behaviour in any size venue but we do have very good stewards.As Mr Storrie observed in his closing speech, three years in the sunshine had given him plenty of time to come up with an explanation.
