Locked Up: The criminals justice caught up with in December and what happened to them

The last month of 2023 was another busy month for the courts in Wales with 43 criminals sent to jail for some of the most serious crimes. Here is our monthly round-up of the criminals who have been locked up. They include a thief who murdered a delivery driver after stealing his van and running over him on a busy Cardiff road. Christopher Elgifari was jailed for life at Cardiff Crown Court on the first day of December. For the latest court reports sign up to our crime newsletter here[1].

There was also a lengthy jail term for Ryan Wyn Jones who tried to stab a woman and boy to death while high on cocaine. A court heard he laughed as he carried out the horrendous attack. Disqualified driver Liam Slade was racing along the M4 at speeds touching 125mph[2] when he slammed into the back of a car carrying wedding guests and killed two much-loved mothers.

Christopher Elgifari

The thief who murdered a delivery driver after stealing and running him over with his own van was jailed for life[3] at the start of December. He held his head in his hands and looked at the floor as details of the murder were relayed to the court.

Elgifari, 31, ran over Mark Lang who was delivering parcels in Cardiff on March 28 and dragged him for 743m after the innocent victim became trapped between the van and the road. Mr Lang suffered catastrophic injuries including heart failure and brain damage before dying in hospital 17 days later. As passers-by came to Mr Lang’s aid Elgifari ran from the scene and lay low at the home of his parents who were unaware of what their son had done.

He was later arrested and admitted theft and manslaughter but he was found guilty of murder and robbery following a trial. You can recap our full coverage of the case here.[4] Ryan Wyn Jones

Ryan Wyn Jones

He was jailed for life for trying to stab a woman and boy to death and laughing as he did it. The 27-year-old launched an attack of appalling brutality[5] while on cocaine.

He laughed as he stabbed woman in the face and body 37 times. One blow was so forceful the tip of the 30cm long bread knife was lodged in her skull. He also stabbed a boy with the broken blade and then stabbed a girl in the back and neck in the attack.

The bleeding boy ran to a relative’s home for help, standing in the doorway in a pool of blood. Jones fled but police found him on a nearby bench holding the knife to his own neck and crying. Jailing him for life with a minimum term of 20 years for attempting to murder the woman and the boy and unlawfully wounding the girl a judge branded Jones highly dangerous.

Liam Slade

The disqualified driver was racing along the M4 at speeds touching 125mph[6] when he slammed into the back of a car carrying wedding guests and killed two much-loved mothers. Slade ploughed into his victims near the Prince of Wales Bridge sending the car spinning off the carriageway and launching it into the air. Saado Hussein and Suad Ahmed suffered catastrophic injuries in the crash and died at the scene.

Other family members in the Peugeot car were seriously injured. Slade ran away from the collision but was recognised by police officers in Newport[7] who saw a TikTok video shot inside the defendant’s car on the night of the crash. The clip showed Slade driving at 125mph and showed his passengers apparently inhaling nitrous oxide gas.

Darren Leyshon

The drunken and prolific offender threatened, assaulted, and robbed customers at a popular restaurant[8]. Leyshon told one of his victims he was a professional boxer and was going to “beat the ****” out of him and then he made “gun gestures” with his hand at the other and threatened to rip his head off. One of the victims was on his first ever visit to Swansea[9] on the evening in question and said the experience had left him feeling “unsafe and confused” and reconsidering whether he should go ahead with making an application to study in the city.

Leyshon was on police bail at time of the offending at the city’s Nando’s restaurant having threatened to burn down a probation office a fortnight earlier. Gary Evans

Evans was high on crack cocaine and off his anti-psychotic medication when he wandered the streets of Llanelli[10] armed with two kitchen knives. The 41-year-old then stabbed a man in the chest[11] “for no apparent reason” before walking off and telling a nearby delivery driver what he had done.

Armed police descended on the town centre looking for the knifeman and he was located a short time later. A judge said there seemed to be “an element of wanting to be arrested” in the defendant’s actions on the day in question. Swansea Crown Court[12] heard the he had a long history of violence including multiple assaults and robberies as well as convictions for possessing offensive weapons. Eden Griffiths

The paedophile who groomed a schoolgirl gave her “rewards” of food, drinks, and gifts for sexually abusing her.

Griffiths subjected his young victim to a catalogue of sickening abuse including oral rape. The 26-year-old has been sentenced to 18 years in prison[13] after being convicted of 20 sexual offences involving a young girl. Sending him down a judge said it was clear he had only been concerned about his own sexual gratification and had given no thought to the impact on the child he was abusing.

Griffiths pressed his hand to the glass wall of the dock towards people in the public gallery as he was led down to the cells. Patrick Likosso

Police custody photograph of Patrick Likosso

The child rapist has been given a 29-year extended sentence[14] for sexually abusing three young girls. Likosso was caught after a relative of one of his victims became concerned about what was going on and contacted the police.

Cardiff Crown Court[15] heard that when police began to investigate the 45-year-old they identified two further victims of his sexual offending. Likosso was living in the Ely area of Cardiff[16] when he arrested in August 2023 and he subsequently answered “no comment” to all questions asked in interview. Police have praised the bravery of the victims and their families in supporting the investigation and said they hope the sentencing will bring some “closure”.

Christopher Wheatley

Police custody photograph of Christopher Wheatley

He was jailed for carrying out three street robberies in a little over 24 hours[17]. Wheatley approached people “at random” and snatched their bags, threatening to stab them if they resisted. The 23-year-old has a history of serious offending including house burglaries, assault, possession of knives, and drug dealing and was out of prison on licence at the time he robbed his victims.

The court heard the defendant has “acquired a very concerning antecedent record in a relatively short period of time”. Sali Kadria and Zenel Sulaj

A man found in a cannabis factory with around 680 plants worth up to GBP700,000 is to be deported back to Albania after “wasting two years of his life”. Sulaj, 30, was found at the property in Newport[18] on October 20 with another Albanian man Kadria.

Officers discovered three growing rooms with cannabis plants being grown on a commercial basis. Two of the rooms contained 169 plants with the third containing 344 plants at various stages of vegetation. The plants were estimated to have a street value up to GBP716,100.[19] Dylan Willis

He has been locked up for nearly 10 years for stabbing a man in the chest[20].

The 28-year-old admitted wounding Cohen McCann following a house party in Cwmbran in June. The injuries, which included damage to his right lung, left Mr McCann feeling “very lucky to be alive” and saw him hospitalised for a number of weeks. It was heard how the victim and defendant attended the house gathering where a number of young people were enjoying a drink together.

However at around 8.30pm the mood “took a turn for the worse” and male members of the group began fighting. Jeff Charles

Jeff Charles

The drug addict injured a bedbound 99-year-old woman[21] after randomly picking up a brick and throwing it at her window. She was left with a laceration to her head which was bleeding.

The 45-year-old was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he walked past the Cardiff[22] home of his victim on October 27. In what was described as an “unprovoked and unnecessary act” the defendant picked up a brick used to prop open a gate and threw it through the front window of her property. Alexander Tindal

Alexander Tindal

The “sadistic” paedophile forced children to perform degrading sexual acts on camera and threatened to distribute the images if they did not send more.

One of his victims was left crying in pain while begging the pervert to stop. The 31-year-old, of Bridgend, sexually abused more than 30 children online over a period of two and a half years and continued to exploit girls after he was first arrested. The “isolated” defendant pretended to be a teenage boy and approached his victims on Snapchat before asking them for intimate photos of themselves.

The driver deliberately knocked down a man in a “revenge attack”[25] sending him flying into the air. John went looking for his target following an altercation in a nightclub and when he spotted him waiting for a taxi he ploughed into him before speeding off.

The defendant was traced by police and arrested at his mother’s house and he told them he had only swerved at the man to try to frighten him and that the collision had been caused by the victim moving. Sending him to prison the judge told the 38-year-old father-of-four that he had used his car as a “weapon” and it was only down to chance that the had not caused more serious injuries. Martin Gauci

The serial burglar was caught breaking into a flat above a historic pub[26] in Cardiff[27] city centre after he set off a motion sensor which alerted the victim.

He stole a bike worth GBP500 and cash. The 49-year-old broke into a flat above the Golden Cross pub at around 7.30pm on December 14, 2022. After entering the victim’s bedroom he was caught on a motion-sensor security camera which sent a notification to the victim’s phone.

Adrian Edwards

Adrian Edwards leaving Newport Crown Court

The tattooist who paid a teenage girl for sex in his tattoo parlour was jailed. He gave her a tattoo in exchange for sexual favours and later told police he was “killing two birds with one stone”. The 57-year-old, of Newport, was found guilty of two counts of paying a child for sex and not guilty of one count.

He claimed there was no monetary agreement between him and the then 16-year-old victim and said she was 18 years old when they first slept together. Read his sentencing here.[28][29] James Rees

James Rees, 19, of Lon Isallt, Trearddur Bay, was sent to a Young Offenders' Institution for nine years for GBH with intent and 18 months, to run concurrently, for possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

An off-duty soldier was rushed to hospital with a “life-threatening” stomach injury after being stabbed in a “revenge attack”.

James Rees knifed his victim in an alley[30] in Holyhead after seeing him with his ex-girlfriend. The court heard Christopher Griffiths’ Army career is now over after the attack. Ryan Jones, Khan Hurford, and Ashleigh Bujega

A cocaine dealer’s advice that the best way to smuggle drugs into a popular music festival was to “plug” them – conceal them in the rectum – was not met with great enthusiasm.

Ryan Jones told the contact he too was taking drugs to the dance music event but had arranged for others to take them through security for him.[31] Jones was sourcing significant quantities of cocaine from “upstream” suppliers and distributing the drug to customers and to fellow dealers Hurford and Bujega for onward supply. Texts recovered from the trio’s phones showed the contact between them and between them and their customers.

At the time of the dealing Jones was on licence having just been released from a previous custodial sentence for peddling the Class A drug. Habinder Baines and Liam Gonzalez

The drug dealers were found in possession of more than a kilo of cocaine and almost GBP28,000 in cash when they were approached by police in the street. The drugs were found hidden under a child’s car seat and cushions.[32]

Baines, 36, had travelled to Cardiff[33] from Birmingham, at 7.15pm on March 27 and met up with Gonzalez, 35, in the Llanishen area of the city. Baines was standing in the road when the police arrived and Gonzalez was “shaken” and attempted to hide. Jack Quarrell

Police custody photograph of Jack Quarrell

When he was caught with a stash of GBP10,000 of cocaine he told the officers who arrested him that he was “shocked”.

Officers swooped on Quarrell after finding his details in the phones of fellow dealers. Sending the 27-year-old to prison[34] a judge said he had read character references on the defendant which heaped “fulsome praise” on him but it was clear there was “another side” to him which had been revealed by the police raid. Alban Mema

Police custody photography of Alban Mema

A commercial-scale cannabis farm was found in a Swansea house[35] after police officers from London descended on the city looking for a suspect.

The person the National Crime Agency and Met Police were looking for was not in the property but the officers did find an illegal immigrant from Albania and a sophisticated GBP60,000 drug-growing operation. Mema later told officers he had entered the UK in a small boat from France and, finding himself homeless and without money, his cousin back in Albania organised work for him in a cannabis operation. He said he had then been sent to Swansea[36] and taught how to tend the cannabis crop.

Jason Taylor

Jason Taylor

The prison tutor infused sheets of paper, including court documents, with spice[37] as part of a plan to smuggle the drug into the jail where he worked. Taylor was caught after prison officers noticed the “distinctive smell” of the synthetic cannabinoid on letters that arrived for inmates. An investigation found that the sheets of paper came originally from the jail’s own education department and had been posted by employability tutor Taylor.

Sending the 53-year-old to prison for 32 months a judge said given the defendant’s position he would have known that drugs hamper the safe running of prisons and are prohibited. Andrew Lloyd

Andrew Lloyd

The paedophile made contact with a “child” a mere 30 minutes of being released from prison. Lloyd sent sexualised messages and an indecent image to the “girl”.

However what Lloyd didn’t know that he was actually speaking to someone from a paedophile hunter group. They traced him to a hotel in Flintshire before reporting him to police. Read his sentencing here.[38][39]

Daniel Francis Thompson

More than 470 cannabis plants worth up to GBP400,000 were found hidden at a farm in north Wales when it was raided by police. On May 27, 2021, officers went to Ty’n y Celyn Farm in Llanfwrog, near Ruthin, with a search warrant. Their view into the shed was blocked but inside they found a total of 474 cannabis plants.

The prosecutor said the shed was over two storeys with several electricity circuit boards, artificial lighting, ventilation ducts, and a generator comprising a “professional and sophisticated” operation. Read Thompson’s involvement here.[40] Robert Reynolds, Steven O’Connor, and Michael Brinsden

The Tesco thieves were part of an organised gang who targeted supermarkets[41] across Swansea, Neath,[42] and Port Talbot[43] and got away with thousands of pounds of wines and spirits.

The “brazen” gang repeatedly raided Tesco stores in Fforesftach, Pontardawe, Neath Abbey, Port Talbot, and Llansamlet in a spree of offending throughout the summer which netted almost GBP12,000-worth of alcohol. Three of the thieves have been jailed for their part in the campaign and Swansea Crown Court[44] heard that between them them the trio have pervious convictions for almost 400 offences. Sending the trio back to prison a judge told them they had made dishonesty their “life’s work”.

Andrew Meredith

Andrew Meredith

He set fire to a communal living room[45] with a butane gas canister after he fell out with his flatmate. He also caused damage to furniture after he broke into a flat by barging the door down. The 46-year-old, of Caldicot, Monmouthshire[46], fell out with a man in a neighbouring room while they were both living in a two-storey council house with five bedrooms.

The victim had been living in the flat for a year but Meredith began living there from January 2023. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court[47] heard the two men did not get on from the outset and in the eyes of the defendant the victim “could not do anything right” and took issue with everything he did or said. Joseph Callard

Police custody photograph of Joseph Callard

He subjected his partner to a catalogue of appalling physical and psychological abuse and wanted a “subordinate woman” with no opinions.

Callard manipulated and controlled every aspect of his partner’s life[48] from what she watched on television to what she wore and also isolated her from her family and parents. Sending the 33-year-old to prison a judge told Callard he was “wholly incapable” of respecting women. Swansea Crown Court heard the defendant has previously been given a lengthy custodial sentence for raping a child.

Gary Jones

Police custody photograph of the defendant

The stalker who is obsessed with a someone who tried to help him get a job has been warned that if he continues harass the woman he faces prison sentences measured in “years”. The computer professional developed a “fixation” with his victim[49] after becoming a client of the recruitment firm she worked for.

The incident was captured on CCTV which saw the attacker become enraged after he had been “shoved” out of the store. Sultana, 42, was approached by a female staff member at a Tesco Express in Cardiff[57] on October 19 when he was seen walking up and down the health beauty aisle with a large Ikea bag.

He shouted aggressively at the woman: “What the f*** are you looking at you c***? I’ll come back up and slit you up.” Paul Bryan

The murderer who assumed the identity of a dead man[58] and travelled around Europe to evade justice for 39 years has been jailed for at least 24 years.

Enforcer Bryan was 22 when he fatally stabbed 62-year-old Roman Szalajko in the stomach at his flat in Kennington, south London, in February 1984. Afterwards he took on the identity of a dead Welshman with the same name and embarked on a new life in Portugal, Crete, Spain, and France. The Army reject and “fantasist” became a suspect when his fingerprints were identified from a bottle at the scene during a cold case review in 2013.

Leon Protheroe

Police custody photograph of the defendant

The aspiring film producer turned to dealing drugs to fund the purchase of the expensive equipment[59] he needed. Film studies graduate Leon Protheroe was caught after his details were found on phones seized by police during an unrelated drugs operation. The dad-of-two’s barrister described the defendant as “articulate, well-spoken, and not unintelligent” and said there must have been other ways he could have put his talents to use rather than by dealing Class A drugs.

Sending Protheroe to prison a judge described drugs as a “scourge” that ruin lives and blight communities and he said it was clear the defendant had gone into dealing “purposefully” with the motivation to make money . Connor Sainsbury

Connor Sainsbury

The drug dealer was believed to have been involved in the supply of 34kg of cannabis and 4kg of ketamine after police discovered messages on his phone. He was also found in possession of a collapsible baton when his home was raided.

Sainsbury, 21, of Caerphilly, was first visited by police at his home on September 28, 2022, over reports of a firearm offence. He was found in possession of a legal air rifle but a black iPhone was also seized which was found to contain numerous messages relating to drug dealing. Read his sentencing here.[60][61]

Dean Ewers

Dean Ewers

The thug told his wife she was a “dead woman”[62] after picking her up and strangling her which caused her to lose consciousness. He then went on to racially abuse a police officer during his arrest. The 43-year-old, of Newport[63], had been out with his wife on June 3 and had been drinking heavily.

When they returned home the defendant threw a phone at her causing a hot cup of tea to fall on her. She left the room to look at her phone and the defendant threatened to “kill her” if she called the police. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court[64] heard Ewers pushed the victim to the floor then picked her up and began to strangle her causing her to lose consciousness.

When she came round she begged the defendant to let her go but he repeatedly hit her head against a wall while continuing to hold his hands around her throat. Peter MacKay

A young girl feared she may be pregnant after Huw Turnell tried to rape her.

After sexually assaulting the child the 62-year-old then tried to persuade her not to report the matter to the police. In a statement read to Swansea Crown Court the mother of the girl described the emotional and psychological impact the abuse has had on her daughter. She said seeing what has happened to her child “has been a living a hell” and she said Turnell “has ruined her life”.[67][68]

Michael Pritchard

Police custody photograph of the defendant

The dealer was caught with a stash of heroin and crack cocaine[69] hidden in his underpants after plain-clothes police saw him carrying out a drugs transaction in the street. Pritchard was caught dealing in an area of Newport[70] “frequented” by dealers and addicts. Cardiff Crown Court[71] heard the 42-year-old former motorways worker had a long-standing addiction to Class A drugs and, in desperation, turned to dealing to fund his own habit.

His barrister said Pritchard knew the “catastrophic” effects of substance misuse having lost his own brother to drugs.
