Murderers, killer drivers and Hanley rioters among criminals jailed in 2024

He is pictured in 2021.

Violent bully Michael Hogan attacked his girlfriend on two occasions while subject to a suspended sentence for the same offence. The 28-year-old was sentenced to 20 months in prison, suspended for two years, in June 2022 for assaulting his partner, occasioning her actual bodily harm. But in January 2023 he punched her to the face when she refused to go to the shop to buy more drink.

And in June last year, while under the influence of cocaine, he again hit her in the face. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[9] heard the following morning he started to rain punches on her head and body and head-butted her. He picked up a pair of scissors and threatened to kill her. Hogan, of no fixed address, was jailed for 50 months after pleading guilty to two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, battery and criminal damage.

February

Alice Wood

Murderer Alice Wood will serve at least 18 years in prison before she can be considered for parole. The former Painsley Catholic College high-flier was sentenced for the murder of fiance Ryan Watson. The 24-year-old, of Draycott Cross Road, in Cheadle[11], mowed down Ryan near their Rode Heath home after earlier that night accusing him of flirting at a birthday bash at the Victoria Lounge, in Hanley[12].

Tragedy struck after the couple had driven home from John Street car park, in Hanley. The court heard Headway worker Ryan was trapped underneath the car as Wood drove 158 metres up Sandbach Road, in Rode Heath, before stopping. Full story here[13].

Scott Hughes

Drug dealer Scott Hughes was hit with a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence. It came after the 48-year-old admitted his involved with heroin and crack cocaine. Officers with Staffordshire Police[14] encountered Hughes on a number of occasions spanning back to 2022.

In June that year, officers stopped a Kia Picanto on Great Wyrley's Glenthorne Drive with Hughes found to be a passenger. He was found with GBP277 in cash and a mobile phone. Officers went on to search an address on the street and found scales, methadone and 'traces' of cocaine.

On June 6 last year the defendant was arrested on the same road for an 'unrelated matter'. Full story here[15]. Kwame Giwa

Drug-dealer Kwame Giwa jumped over garden fences - in an effort to outrun cops.

The incident unfolded in Stafford[16] after the force had stopped an Audi Q2 which the 34-year-old was travelling in. The car was later stopped for a second time in Longton[17] where officers found crack cocaine, heroin and hundreds of pounds in cash. The defendant's offending was rumbled after officers stopped the Audi on Stafford's Laurel Grove on October 29 last year.

The 34-year-old defendant, from Birmingham, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine and heroin with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of cocaine. During a hearing at Stafford Crown Court[18] he was jailed for 39 months. Full story here[19].

March

Bradley Knight

Knife-wielding Bradley Knight head-butted his victim and held the weapon to his stomach in a terrifying phone robbery.

The 25-year-old and a second man robbed their victim as he walked down a Fenton[20] alleyway. Knight produced a flick knife and put it to the victim's stomach. The other man took the victim's phone and punched him to the side of his head, knocking him unconscious and leaving him with a fractured eye socket.

Knight was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.[21] Full story here.[22] Matthew Lea

An arsonist who burned down a Thorntons branch put a prison in lockdown - after planting a hoax improvised bomb. Matthew Lea was jailed for 51 months[23] at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[24] in 2019 after he torched Longton Thorntons, twice stole from Wrights pies, and pulled out a screwdriver on a Royal Stoke University Hospital security guard.

The 23-year-old - of Pitlea Place, in Longton[25] - was being held at Dovegate Prison, on the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border. But he was later moved to HMP Lowdham Grange when the prison was forced into lockdown. Lea had left a plastic bottle fitted with wires and white powder under a door after he had covered a CCTV camera lens with tissue paper.

He also had Isis and Taliban terrorist propaganda. Lea was jailed for 20 months at Nottingham Crown Court following the 2022 incident. Full story here.[26]

Maksymilian Jagielski

A teenager who left a man needing life-saving surgery in a knife attack was jailed for six years and eight months. Maksymilian Jagielski was aged just 19 when he stabbed his victim in a pre-arranged fight[27] in Abbey Hulton[28] on July 10 last year. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[29] heard the victim, who is in his 20s, spent five days in hospital, including three in intensive care, and had to have three litres of blood and keyhole surgery.

He suffered a large stab wound to his head and a fractured skull, three wounds to his back and one on his shoulder. Following the stabbing, he was left with scars including one on his lip which has impacted his self confidence. Jagielski pleaded guilty on the basis it was not a pre-arranged meeting, he did not take a knife to the scene and he acted in self-defence.

But after a trial of issue at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[30] in January, Judge Graeme Smith found it had been planned, Jagielski did take the knife to the scene and he did not act in self-defence. Full story here.[31]

April

David Lovatt

Professional burglar David Lovatt slashed a man with a chisel after a row outside a city pub. The 50-year-old lunged at his victim and lashed out at him nine times before others stepped in and stopped the assault at Swifty's micro bar in Meir[32].

Lovatt, who also burgled two businesses, was jailed for 50 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[33]. Prosecutor Elizabeth Power said police were called to Swifty's in Weston Road just before midnight on July 16 last year. Miss Power said: "The officer arrived.

He saw the victim drunk but not incapable. He was out with his friend and had entered the bar to try and get another drink. He explained that someone had attacked him with a knife for no reason."

Full story here.[34] Gang jailed for murder

A gang who murdered a Stoke-on-Trent DPD driver were handed life sentences. They ambushed Aurman Singh after he left the DPD Etruria depot as part of a two-man crew to deliver parcels in Shrewsbury.

CCTV had captured Aurman arriving for work at the Etruria depot at 6.52am on August 21 and then stood behind his DPD van just before 7.15am. But the 23-year-old was dead hours later after being slaughtered in broad daylight with weapons including a 3.5lb axe, golf club, wooden stave, metal bar, hockey stick, shovel, knife and cricket bat. He was left for dead in a huge pool of blood with 'his brain exposed'.

His killers made a quick bid for freedom, fleeing in the two cars they had arrived in and taking some of their blood-stained murder weapons with them. The sentences were:

• Arshdeep Singh, 24, of Shaw Road in Tipton - 28 years
• Jagdeep Singh, 23, of Goodrich Mews in Dudley - 28 years
• Shivdeep Singh, 27, of Greenfield Road in Smethwick - 28 years
• Manjot Singh, 24, of Greenfield Road in Smethwick - 28 years
• Sukhmandeep Singh, aged 24, from Paynels in Orton Goldhay, Peterborough - 10 years

Full story here.[35] Victoria Prince

A woman who'd 'used every drug Stoke-on-Trent has to offer' was jailed for more than seven years for stabbing her partner inside an upmarket Hanley apartment block.

Victoria Prince lunged at her victim and stabbed him in his chest after she turned up at his flat inside the Clayworks development in the city centre. She then tried to deliver a second blow but missed. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[36] heard he staggered out of the building and told passers-by Prince had stabbed him. But Prince managed to escape on an electric scooter and was later arrested in Abbey Hulton[37].

The defendant - who was initially charged with attempted murder - was jailed for seven years and two months. Full story here.[38]

May

Finn Henry

Killer Finn Henry was jailed for seven-and-a-half years after beating his mum to death. Suzanne Henry lost her fight for life at the Royal Stoke University Hospital[39] two days after being found with head and facial injuries at the family's home, on Newcastle Road, in Madeley[40].

Staffordshire Police[41] launched a murder investigation following the 54-year-old's death. But Henry was high on drugs, initially unfit to be quizzed by police, and later admitted a charge of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The 21-year-old was sentenced at Northampton Crown Court.

His 11-and-a-half year extended sentence means he will be subject to a four-year licence following his prison release. Police had been called to the crime scene at 9.46pm on May 1 last year after a neighbour raised the alarm. Full story here.[42]

Mark Groombridge

Drug dealer Mark Groombridge was caught with cocaine that he'd hidden inside a Kinder Egg container. The 38-year-old - who detectives branded a 'serial offender' - was jailed for four-and-a-half years.. The defendant had been driving a van on High Street in Uttoxeter[43] back in November, 2022, when he was stopped by officers with Staffordshire Police's[44] major and organised crime team.

Cops initially discovered a mobile phone and GBP705 in cash. On being taken to custody, cocaine was discovered inside a Kinder Egg Surprise container. Officers then carried out a search of a property in the town where they found GBP390 in cash, cocaine, and 'drugs paraphernalia'.

Full story here.[45] Luke Richardson and James Abbotts

Two men were jailed for a total of six-and-a-half years after subjecting a taxi driver to a terrifying knifepoint robbery. Luke Richardson, aged 29, and James Abbotts, aged 32, carried out the mugging after ordering the cabbie to take them to various locations as they hunted for a missing bag containing phones, drugs and cash.

But Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[46] heard they became aggressive and Richardson pulled out a knife and tapped the driver on his shoulder and demanded he hand over cash. The victim handed over GBP180 from his centre console and was so affected by his ordeal he had a month off work. Richardson was jailed for three-and-a-half years and Abbotts was locked up for three years.

Prosecutor Annabel Hale said the victim collected both defendants from an address in Middleport[47] at 6.05am on June 20 last year. Full story here.[48]

June

James Bedson

Gun-firing James Bedson terrified a couple by twice shooting his weapon in their street. The 22-year-old fired his air weapon outside their Crackley[49] home a week after pointing a gun out of his car window and threatening, 'Do you want me blast you duck?'.

The firearms offences happened a few months after he mowed down a man in Asda car park, Wolstanton[50]. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[51] heard the victim was thrown on to the bonnet and then on to the floor and required hospital treatment. Bedson, who was subject to a suspended jail sentence at the time of the offending, was jailed for five years. Prosecutor Richard Davenport said the trouble started after an incident between the defendant's sister and another girl.

Full story here[52]. Dovydas Smilginis, Mohamed Nasar, Egidijus Savickas and Modestas Stokus

Four kidnappers who armed themselves with knives and baseball bats before brutally attacking two men were jailed for a total of 54 years. The gang travelled from across the country to get to their victims - who were not expecting any trouble - in Chesterton[53] in December 2022.

Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[54] heard Modestas Stokus met the pair and they went with him to his car which was then driven to secluded Meadow Street, surrounded by industrial buildings. It had been pre-selected by the group as the ideal location. Once there, the other defendants - who had been lying in wait - pepper-sprayed their victims in the eyes, dragged them out of the vehicle, attacked them, bound them with duct tape, interrogated them, and threw them into the boots of two cars.

Full story here[55]. Tyler Steele

Cruel thug Tyler Steele was jailed after he was caught on camera beating up a dog. The 28-year-old sparked outrage across Stoke-on-Trent and the rest of the country after he was filmed hitting the XL Bully puppy last year.

And on a separate occasion the cocaine user was captured on CCTV throwing the animal from a stationary vehicle across a road in Berry Hill[56]. Steele - who admitted two charges of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal - was jailed for 18 weeks at North Staffordshire Justice Centre[57]. Prosecutor Joanne Fox said Steele threw the dog across the road from a car on May 2 last year.

And on July 7 doorbell footage from an address in Poundlock Avenue, Hanley, captured him punching the pup when it was not doing what he wanted it to. Full story here[58].

July

Richard Stubbs

Fraudulent businessman Richard Stubbs was jailed for five-and-a-half years. The 55-year-old, of High View Road, Endon[59], was earlier this year convicted of three charges of fraudulent trading, seven charges of fraud, and two charges of intending to pervert the course of public justice.

His businesses - Leek-based[60] I Design Kitchens and Bathrooms and Peak Kitchens and Bathrooms - were convicted of a total of seven counts of fraud. In July, Stubbs - who once served with Staffordshire Police - was banned from being a company director for 10 years. He was yesterday described as a 'broken man'.

The overall loss to consumers and credit card companies was GBP134,439. At Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[61], Judge Graeme Smith told Stubbs: "You have a tendency to blame everybody but yourself for what was happening." Stubbs' co-accused - Carl Egerton, aged 54, of Basford Green, Cheddleton[62] - was convicted of one charge of fraud.

He was sentenced to 16 months in prison, suspended for 12 months, with 100 hours unpaid work and told to pay GBP2,500 costs. Full story here.[63] Sara Morris

A benefits cheat mum claimed more than GBP20,000 she was not entitled to despite competing in scores of running events.

Sara Morris, of Walton Way, Stone, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005, but in 2020 she exaggerated the extent of her condition and claimed Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The 49-year-old told lies about the severity of her MS and said she lacked the power to stand at the cooker, lacked balance and experienced difficulties getting out of the bath unassisted. She also claimed to be so anxious when she left the house that even a trip to the pharmacy to collect her medication left her in tears.

But the mum-of-three failed to mention to the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP) that she was in fact a member of the Stone Master Marathoners[64] and regularly ran 5km and 10km races, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard. Morris was overpaid GBP20,528.83 between October 20, 2020 and April 25, 2023, and was jailed for eight months as a result. Full story here.[65]

Jamie Wright

A foolish burglar was caught stealing from the same shop - twice. Jamie Wright was seen on CCTV leaving the Royal Oak Furnishers in City Road, Fenton, with two lamps. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the 41-year-old - who has more than 100 offences on his record - then went to Jack Ashley Court where he was arrested by police and the lamps were recovered.

Wright had just been released from prison on licence less than 10 days prior. However, an "age-old drug addiction" and his "struggle to find work" drove him to carry out the burglary. Wright was handed a 13-month jail term after admitting burglary.

Full story here.[66]

August

Peter Matthews

Detectives branded an investigation into a pensioner killing his disabled wife in her bed as a 'tragic case'. In August, Peter Matthews was jailed after admitting murdering Carol Matthews at the couple's Weston Coyney home. Staffordshire Police released a mugshot of 80-year-old Matthews while detectives said they hoped the sentence would bring 'some form of closure' to relatives. StokeonTrentLive reported[67] how the defendant smothered Mrs Matthews, aged 73, with a pillow while she begged him not to kill her at the couple's home on Denton Grove.

Stafford Crown Court heard Mrs Matthews was paraplegic and had relied on a wheelchair since she was diagnosed with cauda equina syndrome in 2000. Her husband of 56 years called 999 on March 22 and admitted he had murdered Mrs Matthews to 'put her out of her misery' even though she did not want to die. He also revealed how he'd spent two days after killing her trying to take his own life.

The pensioner was handed a 10-year minimum sentence, reduced to nine years and 228 days due to time already served on remand. Full story here.[68] David Jordan

This is the 'angry old man' who became the first to be sentenced for his part in the Staffordshire riots.

David Jordan, 59, threw missiles at police as violence erupted outside the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Tamworth earlier in the month. Jordan, who was identified anonymously by a member of the public, was seen on multiple videos goading officers, making inappropriate gestures, hurling objects from behind a road-sign and enticing the crowd. When he was told to leave the area, Jordan refused to do so.

According to Staffordshire Police, he shouted expletives and carried on engaging in the disorder. Stafford Crown Court heard he also messaged a contact on Facebook on August 5 asking them to spread the word that some migrants had been moved to a different hotel. He was jailed for 28 months.

Full story here.[69] Julie Sweeney

Carer Julie Sweeney was jailed after calling for mosques to be blown up at the height of the riots. The 53-year-old posted: "It's absolutely ridiculous.

Don't protect the mosques. Blow the mosques up with the adults in it." The statement was posted on a community Facebook page in the Kidsgrove area and reported to police on Monday, August 5.

It had been posted on Saturday, August 3 and coincided with the weekend of civil unrest - including riots in Hanley. Sweeney, of Lawton Gate Estate, in Church Lawton, was handed a 15-month prison sentence. She had never been in trouble before, had lived a 'quiet, sheltered life' on the Staffordshire-Cheshire border, and vowed to delete Facebook.

Chester Crown Court heard the Facebook group has 5,100 members. One of the members found the post - which was later deleted - 'offensive' and 'did not like reading it'. Full story here.[70]

September

Ciaran Lockett and Deana Evans

'Chanting' couple Ciaran Lockett and Deana Evans became the first to be jailed for their parts in the Hanley riots. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[71] heard Lockett chanted songs, took part in a sit-down protest, stopped a police van driving through the city centre, and threw a bottle at police.

The 34-year-old scaffolder, of Fletcher Bank, Newcastle[72], pleaded guilty to violent disorder and was jailed for 32 months. Partner Evans filmed the incident, shouted and chanted. The 32-year-old warehouse worker, of Poplar Court, Newcastle, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker and was jailed for 20 months.

Full story here.[73] Finley Wood

A man who drove at speeds of up to 90mph ignored pleas to slow down before crashing into a tree and killing his friend. Three other people travelling in his car were also left seriously injured as a result of the smash.

Finley Wood, 21, lost control of his Ford Fiesta before leaving the carriageway and colliding with a tree, resulting in the death of 19-year-old Felix Davies. Wood had left the White Lion pub in Ash Magna, near Whitchurch, to drive him and his four friends, including Felix, to the Nantwich Jazz Festival. Wood was jailed for ten years and six months at Chester Crown Court after pleading guilty to one count of causing death by dangerous driving and three counts of causing injury by dangerous driving.

Felix, who had been in the front passenger seat of the Fiesta, was sadly declared dead at the scene of the crash despite the best efforts of the emergency services in attendance. Full story here.[74] Ashley Morris

A dad-of-three left needing six stitches after being bashed over the head in a Hanley[75] riots hammer attack was jailed.

Ashley Morris also suffered a broken nose as violence erupted on the streets of Hanley. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[76] heard the 31-year-old was bare-chested because he had taken his shirt off to use it as a bandage for an injured woman. But Morris - who has lost his job as a groundworker following the troubles - pleaded guilty to violent disorder after throwing a brick towards St John's Church which Islamic leaders want to convert into a Mosque.

He was jailed for two-and-a-half years. Full story here.[77]

October

Mark Clews

A community hero who led the fight to reopen Kidsgrove Sports Centre was jailed for 27 months.

Mark Clews chaired Kidsgrove Sports Centre Community Group which managed to successfully reopen the centre in 2022 following a GBP7.5 million transformation. The role even led to Clews meeting top politicians, but he is no longer on the Kidsgrove Community Sports Centre (KCSC) Board of Trustees and is now in prison. He had previously pleaded guilty to two charges of stalking[78].

Full story here[79]. Andrew Townley

Bungling builder Andrew Townley was easily identified at the Hanley[80] riots - with his work's phone number on the back of his hi-vis jacket. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[81] heard the 45-year-old had no intention of going to the riots - and was instead trying to get to his mum's home on the opposite side of the police cordon. But he was arrested at work more than a month later after trying to break through the police line.

He had told police 'you have got no chance against me, no chance, any of you' before disappearing back into the crowd. Townley, of Penarth Grove, Hanley, was jailed for 34 months after admitting violent disorder following the August 3 trouble. He was also handed an eight-month prison sentence for assaulting an emergency worker which will run concurrently.

Full story here[82]. Wilson Pereira

Teenage killer Wilson Pereira was jailed for three years after admitting manslaughter. The 19-year-old, from Bentilee, punched Neil Gaskell, known as 'Big Ne', 55, during a disagreement in Milton.

Police taped off the centre of Milton following the attack outside a takeaway on May 7, 2023. Big Ne was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital for further treatment and died there 16 days later. Full story here[83].

November

Aimie Hodgkinson-Hedgecox

A woman who took a young boy to a post-Southport riot which saw an arson attack on a Staffordshire hotel was jailed for more than two years.

Aimie Hodgkinson-Hedgecox - who has 14 previous convictions involving 30 offences - pleaded guilty to violent disorder after being recorded shouting "incendiary and racist" remarks at police protecting asylum seekers housed at Tamworth's Holiday Inn Express a day after trouble broke out in Hanley. The 37-year-old reacted angrily to being handed a 27-month sentence at Stafford Crown Court, looking towards friends and relatives in the public gallery and complaining: "It's a joke, it's a f***ing p*ss-take." Full story here.[84]

Benjamin Wallbanks

Police welcomed the sentence handed to a city centre reveller who killed a clubber with a single punch. Benjamin Wallbanks started a nine-year extended sentence after admitting killing 30-year-old Benjamin Grosvenor, from Burslem[85]. The 41-year-old, of Opal Road, Fenton[86], had left Mr Grosvenor in a coma.

The victim never recovered and died two years after the attack on Trinity Street, in Hanley[87]. The extended sentence includes a six-year prison sentence for the manslaughter. Wallbanks was also sentenced for knocking out clubber David Regan with a single punch outside Hanley Pink earlier in 2021.

Full story here.[88] Alison Cooper

A killer A500 driver was jailed. Alison Cooper, of Badger Brow Road, Loggerheads, was driving home from work in her Ford Fiesta when she braked harshly on the A500 thorough Barthomley.

It led 29-year-old Chris Parsons, from North Wales, to take evasive action, veer onto the opposite carriageway, and crash into an oncoming car. Cooper, 60, was handed a 40-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. It was back in June 2022 when tragedy struck.

Cooper was also handed a five-year driving ban when she was sentenced at Chester Crown Court. Full story here.[89]

December

Lee Ferns

Shoplifter Lee Ferns was jailed after using up all his lifelines.

The 51-year-old was sentenced to five months in prison, suspended for 12 months, in March 2023 for three offences of possessing a bladed article - two kitchen knives and a pair of scissors. The suspended sentence was allowed to continue following breaches in October 2023 and April this year. And in June, Ferns was handed a 12 month conditional discharge for possessing class A heroin and class B drug mephedrone.

But the defendant spurned his chances by stealing coffee and sandwiches worth GBP22.75 from the Co-op, Leek, on September 23 and sweets and superglue worth GBP16.70 from Morrisons Daily in Abbotts Road, Leek, on October 4. Ferns, of Beresford Place, Leek, pleaded guilty to two charges of shop theft; breaching a conditional discharge and breaching a suspended sentence. He was jailed for four months.

Full story here.[90] Aaron Mottram

Violent bully Aaron Mottram was jailed after he subjected his partner to a campaign of mental and physical abuse. The 31-year-old slapped his vulnerable victim, smashed her phone, accused her of seeing other men and threatened to set fire to her mum's house.

Other abuse included threats to kill and bombarding her with calls and texts, including 80 in one day. But worse was to come when he launched an attack on her when she was pregnant and prevented her from going to a scan for her unborn child. At one point he drove at 110mph and told her if he crashed 'all his problems would be solved'.

Mottram was jailed for 28 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[91]. Full story here.[92] Akim Birks

Dangerous thug Akim Birks bottled a worker who challenged him after he stole sandwiches from Costa Coffee.

The 24-year-old was high on monkey dust when he swiped two wraps worth GBP10.40 from the cafe in Longton[93], on July 1. The area manager followed him out the shop and gave chase. But Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court[94] heard Birks pulled out a glass bottle, held it above his head and ran towards his victim and 'felled' him.

He then kicked the man repeatedly as he lay defenceless on the floor - in front of a three-year-old child. The court heard the victim was left with bruising to his ribs, spine and face and needed six stitches for a 12cm head wound. He was unable to work for some time.

Birks was handed a seven-and-a-half year extended jail sentence which is made up of four-and-a-half years custody and three years extended licence.
