A thug who stabbed a member of staff at David Lloyd in the head, Rikki Berry's killers and Lee Harrison were among the criminals from across Merseyside who were jailed this month. Also locked up was MP Mike Amesbury, before he successfully appealed his sentence.

Meanwhile, Liverpool Crown Court[1] heard that two teenagers enacted revenge by shooting at a rival in the street within 20 minutes of an arson attack at the home of one of their grandads. Here are the faces of 52 defendants from our region who were imprisoned during February:

Timmy Donovan, Christopher Roper, James Vaughan and Arron O'Sullivan

A police raid on a car dealership brought down a multi-million pound money laundering scheme involving a man who killed an off-duty police officer.

The highly prolific scheme saw six men wash huge quantities of cash obtained through the proceeds of drug trafficking.

The plot, led by Timmy Donovan[2], involved drop offs of hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash a time at Wavertree[3] Car Centre, where Christopher Roper was an employee. The top man also deployed his brother-in-law James Vaughan and Arron O'Sullivan to chase debts and organise cash drops. Deliveries were largely completed by taxi driver Paul Duncan and Kenneth Kean, who were referred to in messages on encrypted communications platform EncroChat as Boris and Theresa.

Donovan was jailed for 14-and-a-half years. O'Sullivan received seven-and-a-half years, while Vaughan was imprisoned for four years and three months.

Roper was locked up for three years and 10 months.

Kean and Duncan were both handed two years in prison suspended for two years.

Mark Harrison

A man was found with sick images of children and videos of upskirting. Mark Harrison[4] pleaded guilty to taking and possessing indecent images, recording equipment under clothing without consent and possession of extreme pornographic images and was jailed for two years.

Jake Dearden

A man was jailed after what police discovered on his phone. Jake Dearden[5] was identified as being the handler of a phone being used to supply heroin and crack cocaine to people in St Helens[6].

The 26-year-old admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis. He was locked up for three years and nine months.

Ryan Addy

A motorcyclist confessed "I've f***ed up, that was my fault" after he caused a crash which left a man in a wheelchair. Ryan Addy spent all day drinking beer but got on his bike and rode to the shop as he "felt fine to ride"[7].

Instead, he ran a red light and smashed into the side of a car.

His pillion passenger suffered devastating and life-changing injuries, including a broken neck, as a result of the incident and spent months in hospital.

Addy admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drink driving. He was jailed for 30 months and banned from driving for five years.

Ewan Blair

A "deplorable" rapist attacked two women within days of each other. Ewan Blair[8] sexually assaulted two women in their 20s after befriending the women in Liverpool city centre[9].

The 21-year-old was convicted of three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, assault by penetration and oral rape. He was sentenced to eight years in prison and an additional two years on licence.

Gabrielle Dures

A drink driver crashed head-on into another car at twice the speed limit, leaving a woman with life-changing injuries and several others hurt. Gabrielle Dures[10] was the driver of an Audi A1 that crashed into a Fiat 500 on Coastal Drive, in New Brighton[11], on the evening of May 28 2023.

The 24-year-old, who had been drinking shots, sped along as her panicking passengers begged her to slow down.

She ignored their pleas and ploughed into the Fiat at 63mph, causing serious injuries to occupants of both wrecked vehicles.

Dures pleaded guilty to four offences of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. She dabbed away tears in the dock as she was jailed for two years and eight months.

Mariyan Grudev

A rapist nodded when a judge labelled him a "sexual predator" then smiled as he was jailed for life. Mariyan Grudev stalked a woman through the streets as she walked home from a night out before raping her[12].

He then struck again four years later in an almost identical manner, although his barefooted victim was bravely able to fight him off and run to a Tesco[13] supermarket for help after he had dragged the teenager into some bushes. The serial offender has a record of previous convictions for rape and sexual assault, committed in his home country as far back as nearly 20 years ago.

Grudev, who was assisted by an interpreter in the dock, was found guilty of rape by a jury following a trial but admitted attempted rape.

Wearing a blue fleece and sporting receding dark hair, he was handed a life imprisonment with a minimum term of 14 years minus the 555 days he has spent in custody to date.

Michael Ross

A dad operated an illegal "chop shop" from his Rice Lane garage, stripping stolen cars for parts. Michael Ross[14] took on a number of stolen vehicles with a combined value of around GBP150,000, causing "untold inconvenience and losses" for victims.

The 41-year-old pleaded guilty to 12 counts of handling stolen goods and one count of concealing stolen goods. He was jailed for 18 months.

Stephen Ellison

A paedophile sent lewd messages to what he thought was a 13-year-old girl and arranged to meet her at a Liverpool city centre[15] hotel. Stephen Ellison[16] told the so-called girl that he would "love to have a snog" with her but, unbeknown to him, was actually chatting online with an undercover police officer.

The 47-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images, distributing indecent images, possession of an extreme pornographic image and two counts of attempted sexual communications with a child. He was jailed for 18 months.

Elliot Ashton

A member of staff at David Lloyd posted a picture of his gruesome injury to Snapchat alongside the caption "I'm going to die" after he was stabbed in the head by a gymgoer. Elliot Ashton[17] asked the worker, his sister's ex-boyfriend, to call him a taxi before slashing him with a knife without warning, leaving him with a horrific wound across the side of his face which required 76 stitches.

The thug then ran outside and demanded a woman's car as an escape vehicle, telling her "I need a lift, give me your f***ing car".

He was ultimately arrested carrying a stab vest outside a Nando's restaurant after failing to flee the scene.

Ashton admitted wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place. Appearing in the dock wearing a navy blue coat and sporting short mousey hair, he was jailed for six years and nine months.

One man in the public gallery sat with his head in his hands as the sentence was passed. Ashton will be required to serve two thirds of this term behind bars before becoming eligible for release on parole, and was handed an additional three-year licence period.

William Rumsby

A pensioner's comment on a YouTube video led to him being sent to prison.

Police paid a visit to William Rumsby[18]'s hotel room after being alerted to the concerning online message.

Having then taken a look at his tablet device, a sickening stash of pictures and videos showing children aged as young as eight being raped was discovered by officers. He has now been convicted of such crimes for a third time and was today warned that he will be "left with very little life" if he continues his vile behaviour.

Rumsby admitted possession of indecent images of children and three counts of making indecent images. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool wearing a grey prison issue jumper and sporting short grey hair and glasses, he was jailed for 28 months.

Daniel Bourne

A man reversed his Honda into a police car following a high speed chase, narrowly missing an officer. Daniel Bourne[19] was jailed for 10 months and given a 42-month driving ban.

Sian Banks

A young woman seduced by the love of her drug trafficker boyfriend's lifestyle packaged 90kg of ketamine to be smuggled into the UK. Sian Banks' fingerprints were found on the packages of illicit substances that Eddie Burton loaded onto one of two lorries which were stopped at Dover[20].

Her partner, a seasoned drug supplier with convictions both in the UK and Germany, loaded more than 300kg of class A and B drugs with a street value of around GBP20million onto the HGVs in order to pay off a debt.

His 25-year-old girlfriend also smuggled both cocaine and ketamine in her luggage through Liverpool John Lennon Airport[21].

Banks admitted importing class A drugs and money laundering. She was jailed for five years, while Burton will be sentenced at a later date.

Michael Edwards

A married couple violently attacked two women in their 60s in a Liverpool city centre[22] pub. Husband and wife Michael and Jemma Edwards[23] battered their victims in a rage after an argument broke out at Lime Street Central.

One of the women sustained six separate fractures to her jaw and needed emergency surgery to insert titanium plates into both sides of her jaw.

Her wife meanwhile suffered bruises and a nose injury which left her unable to taste or smell.

Michael Edwards pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was jailed for two years, with his partner crying and embracing him as he was led to the cells.

Jemma Edwards admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm. She was sentenced to a 12-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months and ordered to carry out a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days plus a 12-month mental health treatment requirement.

Alan Johnson

A pensioner stole "every happy and ordinary moment" from a child before being jailed for his horrific crimes 50 years later. Alan Johnson[24], now aged 71, pleaded guilty to one count of rape of a child and 11 counts counts of indecent assault and was locked up for 13 years.

Jeffrey Bloxham

An EncroChat drug dealer who was caught with 17kg of cocaine hidden inside his specially adapted VW Caddy van has been jailed for 17 years. Jeffrey Bloxam trafficking 104kg of the class A drug and 58kg of cannabis using the EncroChat handle "Easy Orca"[25].

When arrested, police discovered 17 1kg blocks of high purity cocaine inside a hide in the floor of his vehicle.

He was jailed for 17 years and four months.

Ryan Witter

A cocaine and heroin dealer was snared in a county lines investigation into the supply of class A drugs. Ryan Witter[26], was caught after his Nokia phone repeatedly sent out flare messages advertising drugs for sale to users.

The 30-year-old pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis. He was jailed for a total of three years.

Nicholas Patrick

A rapist told a court "I'm not a bad person" but said he was "ready to accept his punishment" after his horrendous crimes were finally brought to light. To many, Nicholas Patrick[27] would have appeared a normal family man and hard working businessman.

But, in reality, he had been burying a dark secret for several decades, having committed a series of sickening rapes and sexual assaults over the course of many years during his childhood.

With this past having now been exposed, he has penned a letter to a judge in which he claims that he would "beg on his knees" for forgiveness.

Patrick admitted four counts of rape and three of indecent assault on the day he was due to stand trial. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool wearing a grey prison issue tracksuit, he sat with his arms folded and his head bowed as he was jailed for nine years.

Kai Buckney and Obakeng Sithole

Two teenagers enacted revenge by shooting at a rival in the street within 20 minutes of an arson attack at the home of one of their grandads. Kai Buckney and Obakeng Sithole[28] sourced a gun and traced the man they believed to be responsible for the fire with rapid "efficiency" before chasing him down and unleashing a volley of shots in his direction.

Months later, they then used the same firearm again in order to enforce terrifying threats in retaliation for a brawl at Nando's. A judge described the series of events as "bearing all the hallmarks of a drugs turf war or feud".

Sithole was found guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence by a jury.

Buckney admitted two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, they were handed sentences of 14 years plus an additional five years on extended licence and seven-and-a-half years respectively.

Neil Jones

A thug attacked his girlfriend as she recuperated in hospital after giving birth to their baby and stalked her from a fake Facebook[29] account under the pseudonym "Bobby Firmino". Neil Jones subjected his partner to a series of vile assaults over the course of around two years[30], including repeatedly attacking her while she was pregnant with his child.

The youth club volunteer's "despicable" behaviour then continued within hours of her giving birth, having punched her in the face as their tiny son lay next to her in his cot. Two women walked out of court after labelling the victim a "grass" before violent scenes erupted after the domestic abuser was sent to prison.

Jones admitted engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour, stalking involving fear of violence and making threats to kill.

Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool wearing a grey Berghaus tracksuit top, he was jailed for 30 months and handed a 10-year restraining order.

Stephen Hughes

A man who has been jailed more than 20 times was locked up again after breaking into a takeaway twice within a matter of weeks. Stephen Hughes stole hundreds of pounds in cash during two burglaries at the chicken shop[31], including one on Christmas Day.

It came amid a string of attempted thefts from Morrisons and Tesco[32] stores. He told a judge "I'd like to apologise for my behaviour" as he was put back behind bars for 13 months after admitting two counts of burglary and four of theft.

Lewis Cheung

A paedophile was "shaking" in the dock of court after the contents of his secret WhatsApp conversations were revealed. Lewis Cheung shared his vile collection of indecent images of children[33] with a fellow user of the messaging app, whom he labelled his "amazing friend".

The pervert also confessed to "loving beast porn" during a string of depraved chats. It came after he hit "rock bottom" as a result of the breakdown of his relationship and his "spiralling" cocaine use.

Cheung pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images of children, three counts of making indecent images, possession of prohibited images of children and possession of extreme pornographic images.

He appeared to be shaking in the dock as he was jailed for 30 months.

Michael Smith, Adam Williams and Connor Walsh

Three men have been jailed for life after shooting Rikki Berry dead[34]. The 36-year-old, who was known as "Nuggy", died after being shot three times by a balaclava-clad assailant on an electric bike outside his girlfriend's house in Quarryside Drive in Kirkby[35] on July 17 last year.

Michael Smith, Adam Williams and Connor Walsh were unanimously convicted of his murder last week following a trial. They were also found guilty of a further count of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life by a jury of eight men and four women.

Gunman Smith and Williams, who drove a car which travelled in convoy with the man on the e-bike, were handed life sentences with a minimum term of 31 years behind bars.

Walsh, whose DNA was discovered on a bullet casing recovered from the scene and was carried in the back of the vehicle, received a life imprisonment with a minimum of 30 years.

Jacob Cleaver and Jamie Turner

A brawl in a pub left one man with a punctured lung, one on the run, one in prison and another facing a life sentence. George Bennett stabbed his victim in the back[36] during the vicious fight, which was sparked when Jacob Cleaver brutally attacked the stranger without warning during a night out.

The knifeman has been warned that he could be locked up for life over the incident, having already amassed a stack of violent convictions despite being aged only 19. His co-defendant meanwhile absconded ahead of his sentencing and remains at large.

Bennett previously pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, while Cleaver and a third defendant, Jamie Turner, admitted affray. But a bench warrant was issued for the arrest of Cleaver after he failed to attend court, where he was handed 14 months in prison in his absence.

Turner was jailed for eight months.

Bennett will be sentenced in April, with the preparation of a psychiatric report being ordered in his case.

Peter Rimmer

A thug drove his ex-girlfriend to a canal and threatened to drown her after stealing her dog[37]. Peter Rimmer sent a series of pictures and videos of the stolen pet, Nala, to his former partner over Snapchat after breaking into her house in the early hours, warning her: "Better come home because I've got your dog."

He then lured the hairdresser into his car, under the false pretence that the dog was still in the vehicle, before subjecting her to a harrowing "ordeal" which left her "begging for her life". This saw him assault her and threaten to deliberately crash his vehicle while driving her around Merseyside and West Lancashire over the course of around two hours.

Rimmer admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm, affray and two counts of criminal damage.

Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was jailed for two years and three months.

Sayed Miah

A man raped a vulnerable teenager in a public park then told her "if you tell anyone, I'll kill you". Sayed Miah[38] pushed the then 15-year-old girl into the bushes under the cover of darkness before attacking her[39] but wasn't traced for years.

He was only after indecent images of children were found on his phone, at which stage he was linked to the incident via his DNA. The now 44-year-old was convicted of rape following a trial and jailed for 12 years.

Vincent O'Connor

A dangerous robber directed an unsuspecting taxi driver down a dead-end near Anfield[40] Stadium before choking him and stealing his day's wages. Vincent O'Connor[41] paid the driver GBP70 to take him from Eccles in Greater Manchester to Kirkdale[42].

But, as they approached their destination, he grabbed the other man from behind[43] and violently twisted his neck.? The 37-year-old admitted robbery and was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison plus an extended licence period of five years.

Emma Llewellyn

A woman who flew from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Jersey with GBP13,000 of drugs told customs officers "it's just a bit of coke". Emma Llewellyn[44] later admitted attempting to import the cocaine and said she would have received GBP1,000 in payment.

The 39-year-old also told officers she owed GBP350 to the individual, whom she said was known as "pornstar" and had a "fat belly".

She was jailed for for four-and-a-half years.

Lee Harrison and Terence Rice

Lee Harrison kept drug paraphernalia in his mum's bedroom while running a heroin and crack cocaine supply line[45]. The 27-year-old was labelled a "foot solider who was required to get his hands dirty" as he was jailed for his role in the drug trafficking operation.

Liverpool Crown Court[46] was told that Ashley Dale[47]'s boyfriend took a "downward spiral" after he "suffered a significant bereavement". He was said to have "sought a quick fix to break his financial spiral", having lost his job and been forced to move back in with his mother, and operated the "Kyle Line" alongside 36-year-old Terence Rice.

Harrison pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to supply. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was locked up for five years.

Rice admitted conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine, as well as further counts of affray, drug driving, drink driving and obstructing police in relation to an incident in the Cumbria area.

Also appearing remotely from prison, he was sentenced to five years and two months behind bars.

Leon Sherratt

A man has found himself behind bars after continuing his "prolific" offending. Leon Sherratt[48] admitted two counts of theft from a motor vehicle, breaching a criminal behaviour order and possession of class B drugs and was sentenced to a total of 20 weeks in prison.

Mike Amesbury

MP Mike Amesbury was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison for punching a man in the street[49]. The member for Runcorn and Helsby admitted a single charge of common assault in relation to an altercation with a man following a night out in Frodsham in the early hours of October 26 last year.

The 55-year-old currents sits in parliament as an independent, having been suspended by Labour after footage showing him punching the male emerged online. Amesbury was then removed from the party following his guilty plea.

However, he then successfully appealed against his sentence before the crown court.

A judge suspended his 10-week sentence for two years, meaning he was freed after spending three nights in custody.

Sean Marr

A domestic abuse survivor's new boyfriend appeared to be a "nice guy" until she Googled his name. Sean Marr[50] began a relationship with the woman after befriending her over Snapchat and claimed to "against men being abusive towards women".

But she then learned of his string of previous convictions for abusing former partners after finding out his real name and researching his past online. Having been confronted over this history, he responded by subjecting the mum to a campaign of harassment in which he threatened to "come for her parents".

Marr admitted harassment, threatening to share an intimate photograph and breaching a stalking protection order which was imposed upon him in September 2023. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was jailed for 20 months and handed a 10-year restraining order.

James Garrity

A convicted drug trafficker claimed to have turned his life around and boasted a luxury waterfront apartment but it was all a facade. James Garrity[51] used the flat to bag up and store thousands of pounds of heroin and cocaine while selling illicit class A substances on the streets

But his exploits were brought to an end when the "nervous and shaking" dealer was stopped while out driving his car.

The "young fool" claims to have been put to work in the trade by those higher up the chain after accruing a debt in relation to his earlier conviction for the same offending, for which he walked free from court having apparently claiming that he "wished to put it behind him".

Garrity admitted possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply and breaching a suspended sentence order. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was jailed for four years.

Logan Brown

A nan fled her home in terror after finding a ketamine fuelled teenager armed with a machete on the roof of her conservatory[52]. The grandma was woken by Logan Brown's attempts to break into the house after he had apparently been attacked at a party.

She attempted to fight the "deluded" intruder off using a picture frame, but was left with gruesome injuries to her arm after being cut by broken glass from a window which he had smashed.

He then barricaded himself inside her front room, forcing police officers to resort to cutting the door down in order to gain entry.

Brown admitted affray, possession of a bladed article in a public place and criminal damage. Appearing in the dock wearing a navy blue On Cloud t-shirt and sporting short mousey hair, he was handed 21 months in a young offenders' institute.

Leon Burgess

A 94-year-old ex-marine answered a knock at his door in his wheelchair and was battered by a stranger in his own home. Leon Burgess burst into his elderly victim's home with an "evil look on his face" and subjected the OAP to an appalling assault[53] while in a drink and drug induced stupor.

This even saw him bizarrely halt the shocking ordeal at one stage and shake the war veteran's hand before resuming his attack. The thug then fell asleep on the housebound man's sofa, enabling him to flee in terror and seek help at a nearby petrol station.

Burgess admitted unlawful wounding and burglary.

Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was jailed for three years and nine months.

George Welsh

A football coach left one of his players "emotionally crippled" after subjecting him to years of sexual abuse. George Welsh even tied the boy up while he slept before assaulting him[54].

The pensioner is now beginning his second lengthy prison sentence for sexual offences, having previously fled the country after being confronted over his disturbing past decades later. However, he maintains a "remorseless denial" for his sickening actions towards his victims.

Welsh was found guilty of 14 child sexual offences by a jury following his latest trial. Appearing in the dock wearing a navy blue coat over a green polo shirt and using two walking sticks, he showed no reaction as he was jailed for eight years.

Dao Guo

A businessman with a master's degree smuggled around GBP2million of drugs into the UK[55] from Canada.

Freight company shareholder Dao Guo organised the importation of nearly 400kg of cannabis while acting as an "integral part" of an organised crime group.

The dad utilised his work as a cover for his illegal activities, but was caught red-handed couriering the illicit substances out of Merseyside in his van. He then went on to falsely claim that a business partner had duped him into believing that he was importing cigars rather then class B drugs.

Guo was convicted of importation of cannabis, supplying cannabis and possession of cannabis with intent to supply by a jury. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was jailed for five years and 10 months.

Terrance Stewart

An angry XL Bully owner drunkenly abused police officers and threatened to set his dog on them. Terrance Stewart[56] said he would "bang out" the three PCs after they confronted him outside a Travelodge hotel, telling them: "I'll beat you up in 10 seconds".

The 34-year-old pleaded guilty to threatening and abusive behaviour.

He was sentenced to eight weeks behind bars in the magistrates' court.

Hannah Smith and Connor Morris

A woman left her neighbour fleeing his flat by climbing out of his window and sliding down a drainpipe after battering him with a hammer. Hannah Smith and Connor Morris[57] dragged their victim from a communal area of their apartment block into his bedroom before subjecting him to a vicious assault which left him drifting in and out of consciousness and with injuries "all over his body".

He feared that he was going to die as a result of the incident and spent hours out cold before waking up covered in blood. The motivation for the shocking attack however remains unclear.

Smith, who appeared via video link to HMP Styal wearing a black Missoni t-shirt, pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding and violent disorder and was jailed for 43 months. Morris, who wore a blue Montirex t-shirt and sported a crucifix around his neck while appearing from HMP Liverpool, admitted the same charges and was locked up for 37 months.

James Hopkins

A man's five trips to Morrisons left him behind bars and slapped with a 10-year ban from the supermarket[58].

James Hopkins embarked upon a "campaign of shoplifting" from the store, stealing hundreds of pounds of goods during a spate of offending.

He also swiped cash from a woman's handbag during her appointment at a beauty salon. It came as the serial thief and drug addict sought to feed his habit through a series of thefts.

Hopkins admitted seven counts of theft and two of assault. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool wearing a grey Nike jacket, he was jailed for two years and handed a restraining order banning him from the Morrisons store for 10 years.

Mason McLean, Dylan Tollitt and Leroy Agath

Three men went to McDonald's after leaving a young man's life permanently "crushed".

Cole Moore was thrown from the back of a van onto the road as he attempted to stop Mason McLean, Dylan Tollitt and Leroy Agatha[59] from stealing his motorbike from outside of his home.

The 20-year-old suffered devastating injuries as a result of the incident and remains barely responsive in hospital more than six months later, having undergone 14 brain operations and counting. He is still "fighting for his life" to this day and is now "unable to undertake the most basic human functions".

All three defendants admitted conspiracy to steal a motor vehicle. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool wearing a grey Nike t-shirt, Agatha nodded as he was jailed for three years.

Tollitt, who also pleaded guilty to two drug supply offences and wore a navy blue hoodie in the dock, showed no reaction as he was handed four years and four months.

McLean received six years and eight months in a young offenders' institute, having also admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

One woman put her head in her hands and burst into tears in the public gallery as he learned his fate.

He meanwhile shouted "love you mum" before being led to the cells, with one supporter remarking: "You're sound, see you lad."
