Would-be assassin and ‘PC Predator’ among UK criminals locked up in August

Three men who kidnapped a pregnant mother and threatened to chop her fingers off were also put behind bars

17:39, 02 Sep 2025

A would-be assassin whose gun jammed when she tried to shoot her victim at point-blank range was among the criminals jailed in the UK[1] last month.

Aimee Betro will spend 30 years behind bars for the failed assassination attempt, that saw her flew to the UK from the US to carry out the crime.

Also among the offenders put behind bars in August were three men who kidnapped a pregnant mother and threatened to chop her fingers off and a man who murdered a grandmother on her morning dog walk while he was living off-grid to avoid recall to prison.

A controlling ex who raped and murdered his former fiancee at a luxury hotel and a suicidal man who tried to murder a two-year-old by walking in front of a train were also locked up over the past month.

A cocaine-fuelled motorist will spend time behind bars for killing his teenage son after he ignored medical advice to stop driving and a former police worker was locked up for making gun parts using a 3D printer.

Other offenders include a former hospital consultant who had more than 90,000 images of children and a cop who had sex with a woman who had nicknamed him 'PC Predator'.

Lengthy sentences are handed to some of the worst offenders each month. These are some of the most shocking court cases that have been widely reported in the UK in recent weeks.

Rumarni Tuitt

Rumarni Tuitt knifed 18-year-old Kamani Spooner in the stomach at Notting Hill Carnival.

The 19-year-old used a 12-inch zombie knife to slash his victim on August 26 last year.

Tuitt was caught carrying a Rambo knife which he swung out at Notting Hill Carnival the year before, although no-one was injured, the Old Bailey heard. He was serving a community order for that offence when he attacked Mr Spooner in front of a crowd of revellers.

The defendant, from Walthamstow, east London, was found guilty of attempted murder having admitted possession of a knife.

Jailing him for 18 years, Judge Judy Khan KC said: "It is not the first time you have travelled to the carnival armed with a fearsome weapon. On this occasion, you used it to devastating effect. It is fortunate Mr Spooner escaped with his life."

Previously, prosecutor Mark Paltenghi had told the court that the two young men did not know each other before their paths crossed just before 8pm.

Mr Spooner told police he spent much of the day at the carnival drinking with his friends before a fight broke out around him with three people close by throwing punches.

Mr Paltenghi had said: "He then recalls being hit in the back and upon looking at his arm, saw it had been cut, then looked down and saw that his intestines were hanging out.

He put his hand over them and just ran. He cannot cast any light on why it was he would have been attacked."

The court heard that during the attack, Tuitt "sliced open Mr Spooner's stomach" then stabbed him four more times in the side and back and cut his right forearm.

Tuitt claimed that he was acting in self defence and jurors were told there was no evidence he harboured a grievance against Mr Spooner.

Jakob Walpole

A 33-year-old man killed his frail and vulnerable grandfather and assaulted two victims at a working men's club in a drunken 'tirade of violence'.

John Brown, an 81-year-old Jaguar restoration expert, died six days after being attacked in his home by 33-year-old Jakob Walpole on the night of November 23 last year.

Walpole, of School Road, Bulkington, was found guilty of manslaughter, breaching a restraining order and two counts of assault following a three-week trial at Warwick Crown Court. The jury cleared him of murder.

Judge Kristina Montgomery KC told Walpole: "(Mr Brown) was an exceptionally small man in deteriorating physical health who had been diagnosed with dementia.

Your visits (to Mr Brown's home) were made to exploit his love... by taking money from both your grandparents to fund your lifestyle. You were an intimidating and persistent nuisance in their lives."

The court heard that on the night Walpole attacked his grandfather, Mr Brown "stood up to" the defendant who was asking for money, before the elderly man was struck to the head.

Prosecutor Michael Duck KC said at the beginning of the defendant's trial: "The reality is that on the 23rd of November, in drink, Jakob Walpole descended to a tirade of violence."

He previously told the court that Walpole had been "drinking throughout the day" and committed two assaults at Bulkington Working Men's Club around an hour after attacking his grandfather. Walpole smashed a pint glass over the back of a club member's head in an incident caught on the "clearest possible" CCTV footage, before assaulting a bar worker while he was being physically removed from the club.

Walpole was jailed for 15 years with a further two years on extended licence.

Daniel Burba

A cocaine-fuelled motorist killed his teenage son after he ignored medical advice to stop driving.

Daniel Burba, 31, had an epileptic fit at the wheel of his wife's Peugeot van which swerved off the M6 near Lancaster and hit a tree on April 20.

His front-seat passenger, Ryan Morgan, 14, sustained head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision on the southbound carriageway between junctions 34 and 33.

The youngster died "in terror" as he tried to gain control of the vehicle moments before the crash, Preston Crown Court heard.

Burba suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital, where a paramedic discovered a small bag of cocaine in his wallet, the court was told. Blood tests revealed that the defendant was four times above the legal drug-drive limit.

It emerged that Burba, from Morecambe, had been told in October 2014 by his doctor to stop taking cocaine and advised not to drive after he suffered a seizure which lasted up to four minutes.

He was then given a similar warning in February when he was admitted to hospital after more fits and was also told to inform the DVLA.

Sentencing, Judge Robert Altham, the Honorary Recorder of Preston, told him: "You knew that cocaine predisposed you to further fits. You were not entitled to drive unsupervised and certainly not on the motorway.

You should not have behind the wheel at all."

Burba, of Arnside Crescent, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing death by dangerous driving. He also admitted driving without a licence and with no insurance.

Judge Altham jailed him for 10 years and disqualified him from driving for 14 years and five months.

Roy Barclay

A man murdered a grandmother on her morning dog walk in a "vicious and brutal attack" while he was living off-grid to avoid recall to prison.

Roy Barclay, 56, subjected 57-year-old Anita Rose to "numerous kicks, stamps and blows" as she walked her springer spaniel Bruce in Brantham, Suffolk, on July 24 last year.

The mother-of-six was found by passers-by but died in hospital four days later.

Barclay, who denied murder but was found guilty following an earlier trial at Ipswich Crown Court, showed no emotion as he was sentenced at the same court to life in jail with a minimum term of 25 years.

He had previously been convicted and jailed over a 2015 attack on a pensioner. Prosecutors said this bore similarities to the attack on Ms Rose.

Barclay had been released from prison in February 2020 but had not been living at a fixed address.

He had been wanted on recall at the time of his attack on Ms Rose over a breach of his licence conditions.

Judge Martyn Levett described Barclay as "unpredictable" and "someone prone to dangerous outbursts at the slightest confrontation".

Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Connick, the senior investigating officer, said outside court after the sentencing that Barclay was a "deceitful, violent man who lived off grid in solitude".

Zoe Watts

A former police worker with an "obsession" with weapons used a 3D printer to make parts for a semi-automatic gun.

Police officers went to the Lincolnshire home of former PCSO Zoe Watts, 39, in December last year and found a 3D printer which she had used to manufacture parts of a semi-automatic weapon, as well as parts she had built to complete the gun, including springs, nuts and bolts.

The gun was completed by police firearms experts but was not capable of firing projectiles and would have required further modification, Lincoln Crown Court heard.

Watts was found guilty of a single count of attempting to manufacture a prohibited weapon and sentenced to eight years and six months in jail.

Judge Simon Hirst told Watts that he realised custody would be more difficult for her because of her neurodivergence, her previous police career and her transgender identity.

He said it was clear from evidence heard during Watts' trial at Lincoln Crown Court that the defendant, of St Helen's Avenue, Lincoln, had an "obsession with weapons". She also has previous convictions for making an explosive substance and possessing illegal weapons, which meant she was prohibited from owning any weapons at the time of her arrest.

The judge said: "You told the jury you had searched the internet for bullets. You had a truly troubling internet search history, including those who had killed and notorious murderers."

She had also used Google to search "has anybody been killed by a 3D printed gun?", had researched weapons and was looking for avenues to buy new weapons, Lincolnshire Police said.

A pre-sentence report found that Watts was deemed to have a medium risk of reoffending.

Umair Iqbal

A sex offender preyed on his young victims while tutoring children in maths and to learn the Koran.

Private tutor Umair Iqbal, 38, has been jailed for 11 years after he sexually assaulted five children.

Iqbal preyed on children aged between eight and 18 over a 10-year period, Manchester Crown Court heard, regularly attending their homes to conduct scheduled lessons.

Police first launched inquiries in October 2020 when a 15-year-old victim came forward, after years of believing the abuse was her own fault.

A subsequent investigation revealed four more victims, including one girl who had been abused from the age of eight.

He was sentenced following a four-week trial when he was convicted by a jury of 29 out of 30 counts of sexual assault.

Iqbal, from Lecester Road, Cheetham Hill, must also serve three years on licence after his release and is subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders for his victims and their families.

James Cartwright

James Cartwright raped and murdered his ex-fiancee at a luxury hotel in Surrey.

Samantha Mickleburgh's family branded the 61-year-old an "evil, controlling, manipulative predator" as he was locked up for a minimum term of 28 years.

The body of 54-year-old Ms Mickleburgh was found at the five-star Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot on April 14 last year.

Cartwright was unanimously found guilty of raping and murdering the mother-of-two during their stay at the hotel following a trial at Guildford Crown Court in July.

He was acquitted of a further charge of controlling and coercive behaviour, but prosecutor Louise Oakley argued that during his and Ms Mickleburgh's relationship, Cartwright's conduct was "cruel, repressive and overbearing".

The court heard that Ms Mickleburgh, from Axminster in Devon, had "honoured" a commitment she had made before she and Cartwright separated to spend his 60th birthday together, booking a twin room with separate beds and a six-course Michelin star dinner at the Surrey hotel.

The judge said that Ms Mickleburgh had made it clear this was the last time she was going to see Cartwright, telling the court: "To one friend she said that the Monday after the stay would be the start of her new life in which you would have no part."

After the dinner's second course, Ms Mickleburgh became tired and unwell, with restaurant staff saying she struggled to stand when Cartwright walked her out.

They returned to the room where "at some point" she suffered a skull fracture, and Cartwright raped her and strangled her to death with his hands.

Sentencing the defendant, Mr Justice Murray told him: "Collectively (Ms Mickleburgh's family) described Samantha's wonderful qualities as a daughter, as a mother and as a sister - caring, thoughtful, fun, well-organised, generous to a fault and devoted to her family. Samantha's family suffer a grief that those who have not experienced it cannot imagine. It lies beyond words to fully describe."

In an emotional victim impact statement, Tracey Carter, one of Ms Mickleburgh's sisters, told him: "I believe you are a monster - an evil, controlling, manipulative predator who really thought you were clever enough to get away with murder, my sister's murder." Her other sister, Karen Bishop, called Cartwright a "vile, narcissistic man".

Cartwright, of no fixed address, was jailed for nine years for raping Ms Mickleburgh - a sentence which will run concurrent to his sentence for murder.

Ashley Sherred

A driver who 'looked crazy' used his car as a 'highly dangerous weapon' to collide with a pedestrian.

Ashley Sherred, 33, was captured on CCTV driving a blue Ford Fiesta while seemingly "on something" doing wheel spins and handbrake turns, Salisbury Crown Court heard.

When the victim came out of his property to see what was happening, Sherred mounted the curb and deliberately collided with him, severely breaking his leg.

The court heard that there was some suggestion that he did it as "revenge" because someone in the victim's family had started dating his ex-girlfriend.

When Sherred was arrested by police at a nearby pub later that day he reportedly told police "yeah and he deserved it".

The victim's leg was described as "swinging and hanging off" and, in a witness statement, he told the court "there is still a chance I could lose my foot" and that doctors are not sure he will recover full movement in his leg.

The defendant, of Southampton Road, Salisbury, admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving in June, and was sentenced to six years and 10 months in prison. He was also sentenced for dangerous driving in relation to another incident, where he fled from police and rammed a police vehicle.

Addressing Sherred in court, Judge Rufus Taylor said: "You're in the middle of this close, driving extremely dangerously driving round and round on the grass. Your eyes were described as going everywhere looking crazy like you were on something."

He added: "You drove straight at him (the victim), you mounted the curb and collided with him, (the victim's) son witnessed it and described his father being thrown up in the air".

Sherred received five years and seven months for the attack and a year and a half concurrent for driving dangerously.

He was also sentenced for an earlier incident of dangerous driving from August 31 last year, where he "rammed" a police car while driving at double the legal intoxication limit.

Sherred received a further year and three months concurrent for that offence bringing his total sentence to six years and 10 months.

He was also disqualified from driving for four years from the day of his release.

Frederick Danquah

A suicidal man attempted to murder a two-year-old boy by walking in front of a train while carrying the child.

Frederick Danquah, 28, stepped in front of a train after a relationship breakdown with the child's mother. Both the child and Danquah were injured in the incident at Garrowhill railway station in Glasgow's east end on July 2, 2023.

Danquah denied attempted murder and another charge of culpable and reckless conduct, regarding another incident on the same date, stating his mental condition as a defence, but he was convicted by a jury at the High Court in Glasgow in July.

At the same court in August, the judge said the "harm was of the greatest kind" and sentenced Danquah to 10 years in prison. He also imposed a non-harassment order until the child is 18.

The court heard that earlier that day, Danquah tried to climb over a footbridge above the M8 in Glasgow with the child on his shoulders, after arguing with his ex-partner who told him she had "moved on".

After posting a suicidal message on Facebook, he prepared a "contingency plan" including a note with contact details, the court heard.

Danquah collected the child from relatives and took him into Glasgow city centre and met his sister's partner, before he attempted to climb the bridge over the M8.

He was spotted by police but "reassured them", the court heard, before he travelled to Garrowhill station with the child and made an attempt on their lives.

Sentencing, Judge Tony Kelly said: "You went to the platform, picked up [the child] and walked into the path of a train. You suffered injuries and [the child] was injured. To seek to take the life... over some hours is great criminality.

I have no doubt about your intentions."

Dr Matthew Isles

A former hospital consultant who had more than 90,000 images of children and tried to engage in sexual conversation with someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy has been jailed for more than three years.

Dr Matthew Isles, who worked as an ear, nose and throat specialist prior to his arrest in February this year, had built up a "staggeringly vast" collection over five years, Stoke Crown Court heard.

Judge Richard McConaghy jailed the former consultant, who worked at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and County Hospital, Stafford, and had a 22-year career in the Armed Forces before that, for three years and 10 months in relation to 13 offences.

He had previously admitted two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, voyeurism, three counts of making indecent images of children, possession of a paedophile manual, three counts of distributing indecent images of children, possession of prohibited images of children and two counts of possessing extreme pornographic images.

Prosecution counsel Hunter Gray told the court that Isles engaged in "sexually explicit conversation of a grooming nature" with an undercover officer posing as a 14-year-old boy on a gay dating site between January 25 and February 6 this year.

While he initially ended the chat after finding out the age of the boy he believed he was speaking to, saying he did not want to be sent to prison, Isles later continued the conversation which involved chatting about "hooking up".

When officers visited Isles' address in Whiston, near Cheadle, Staffordshire, on February 10 to arrest him, a large quantity of items were seized including more than 90,000 images and videos on different devices. He also had voyeuristic images in a folder called "Spycam" featuring him and a female he had filmed.

In police interview, Isles admitted having an "addiction to sex, pornography and child abuse material and an addiction to collecting child sex abuse images" over the space of five years, Mr Gray said.

The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM) said in February that it was fully co-operating with the police in their investigation and has since confirmed that Isles is no longer one of its employees.

Audi Johnson, Ahmad Ghiasi and Nicholas Mitchell

Three men kidnapped a pregnant mother from outside her home and threatened to cut her fingers off.

Audi Johnson, 35, Ahmad Ghiasi, 26, and Nicholas Mitchell, 55, bundled their victim who was six months pregnant, into the back of a van after she left her north London home on the morning of May 10 last year.

She was blindfolded and bound at the wrist with cable ties by the gang as they sped away, before they fired questions at her about her partner where one of them threatened: "If you lie to me I'm gonna kick the baby out your stomach."

Then a series of phone calls was made to her partner as the gang threatened to cut off her fingers if he did not quickly carry out their demands for money and valuable jewellery, the Met Police said.

Johnson, Ghiasi and Mitchell - who were members of a London-based gang contracted to carry out the kidnapping - were found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap after a six-week trial at Kingston Crown Court.

The 36 year-old woman said she has not been able to go home since the traumatic ordeal and spent the rest of her pregnancy sleeping on her sister's couch.

The police said Johnson, of Cranberry Close, Northolt, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap and was sentenced to five years and four months. Ghiasi, of Fourth Avenue, Luton, was sentenced to seven years for conspiracy to kidnap.

Mitchell, of Mannock Close, Barnet was sentenced to nine years for conspiracy to kidnap.

Natasha Allarakhia

A dangerous driver who drove at speeds of up to 96mph while taking sips of lager before crashing into a car containing teenage friends and killing two of them has been jailed for 10 years.

Natasha Allarakhia was "literally drinking and driving" before she smashed her Audi Q2 into the back of a stationary Ford Fiesta on the A17 Newark Road in North Rauceby, Lincolnshire, on June 20 last year, killing a 17-year-old driver and an 18-year-old passenger who had just finished their A-levels.

Lincoln Crown Court heard the 36-year-old lied to police at the scene for more than an hour about who had been driving while her two young daughters, who had been in the back of her car, were present.

Allarakhia, of Turner Crescent, Norwich, pleaded guilty in June to causing the deaths of William Ray and Eddie Shore by dangerous driving, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving to one of the other two teenage passengers.

Judge James House KC handed Allarakhia the custodial sentence, disqualified her from driving for a total of more than 12 years, and said she must take an extended retest before she can drive again, adding that her drinking was not the cause of the collision. The defendant was not recorded as being over the legal alcohol limit at the time of the collision.

The court heard Allarakhia was driving at 96mph and "not paying attention to the road" when she approached the teens' vehicle, which was stopped at traffic lights.

Prosecutor David Eager said: "She drove at speed into the back of that vehicle. Even with the tiny amount of braking she did, she hit that vehicle at 70mph." The cause of death for both teenagers was head injuries, while one of the two teenagers in the back of the car also suffered severe injuries to his hip.

Stuart Trentham

A police officer was jailed for a second time for having sex with the a burglary victim, who saved his number in their phone as 'PC Predator'.

Stuart Trentham, 41, was jailed for 18 months by the same judge who sent him to prison for nine months earlier this year for an "almost identical" offence.

Sheffield Crown Court heard how Trentham was a South Yorkshire Police officer who responded to a report of burglary in 2020, during the pandemic lockdown.

Prosecutor Joseph Bell said the officer began to exchange increasingly "flirtatious and sexualised" messages with the woman complainant.

Mr Bell said they then had consensual sex when Trentham attended at her house. But the prosecutor said the woman "saved his number on her mobile phone as Pc Predator".

Mr Bell said the woman's friend encouraged her to report the matter to the police at the time but she was worried about alienating her local police. He said it was only after she saw a documentary about the Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, who murdered Sarah Everard in 2021, that she decided to make a complaint.

He said she was finally prompted by the publicity which surrounded Trentham's jailing for nine months in February for sending inappropriate messages to a vulnerable woman after she reported that sexual images of her had been posted on the internet without her consent in 2022.

Judge Jeremy Richardson KC jailed father-of-three Trentham, who appeared in court on bail, for a further 18 months.

He told him: "You abused the responsibility reposed in you. Police officers have a high position in society and are an essential component of a civilised country. The public place confidence in a police officer to do the right thing and behave with propriety.

You betrayed that trust and you have betrayed that trust now twice."

Jason King

Jason King stabbed a neighbour and shot an officer with a crossbow after attempting to "hunt down" police.

Aylesbury Crown Court heard King, 55, had stabbed neighbour Alistair Mahwuto with a "small knife" during an altercation which had arisen as a result of a "long-standing" dispute. Police were called to the scene on School Close in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where King shot repeatedly at officers with a crossbow out of his upstairs window before chasing them with the weapon and shooting an officer, the court was told.

King was later shot once by police in the stomach after refusing to put down the weapon when confronted by officers, the court heard.

He was jailed for nine years with a further three years on extended licence having previously pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding, having an article with a blade or point, having an offensive weapon, wounding with intent and affray regarding the incident on May 10 last year.

The sentencing hearing heard that on the day before the shooting, King said his windows had been broken by a neighbour and had called police.

Sentencing King, Judge Jonathan Cooper said he had been motivated in part during the shooting by "revenge" and a "sense of grievance" towards his neighbours and police who he believed had not handled the incident regarding his window appropriately.

Aimee Betro

A US woman disguised in a niqab whose gun jammed during a failed assassination plot in Birmingham was jailed for 30 years.

Aimee Betro flew to the UK before she tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point-blank range outside his home in Measham Grove, Yardley, Birmingham, shortly after 8pm on September 7 in 2019.

Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court found the 45-year-old graduate guilty of conspiracy to murder as well as possessing a self-loading pistol and fraudulently evading the prohibition on importing ammunition, on August 12. The jury of six men and six women deliberated for almost 21 hours before returning its verdicts, two of which were by an 11-1 majority.

Betro, who is originally from West Allis in Wisconsin, but lived in Armenia until earlier this year, took part in a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and his son Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a rival family.

Wearing a white top, black cardigan and her hair in plaits in the dock, Betro showed no emotion as Judge Simon Drew KC jailed her for 30 years, with concurrent sentences of six years for possessing a firearm and two years for evading the prohibition.

He said: "You went beyond simply reaching an agreement to kill and, in reality, you did intend to kill Mr Ali.

It is only a matter of chance that Mr Ali wasn't killed. You were engaged in a complex, well-planned conspiracy to murder. You were prepared to pull the trigger and did so on two separate occasions."

Prosecution counsel Tom Walkling KC told Betro's trial that she met Nazir, who lived in Derby, on a dating app.

Judge Drew said that while it was not clear when Nazir "recruited" Betro to take part in his revenge scheme, it appeared she was "acting out of infatuation or love".

Both men were jailed last year by the same judge for their part in the bungled assassination plot, which was the culmination of a long-running feud with Mr Ali's father.

Colby Hammond

A drunk driver admitted causing the death of a passenger when he crashed into a tree at over 60mph after a night out.

Ethan Entwistle, 18, died when Colby Hammond, 20, lost control of his Seat Ibiza at high speed with three passengers in Dumpton Park Drive, Broadstairs, Kent, on October 1 in 2023.

Hammond admitted causing death by dangerous driving in June, having sped up to 75mph on a residential carriageway with a 30mph limit moments before he lost control.

The car hit a tree planted on the side of the road at over 60mph and did "terrible" damage to the passenger seat, where Ethan had been sitting.

At Canterbury Crown Court the court heard that one of the other passengers had told police it was a "pretty normal thing" for Hammond to drink and drive.

Sentencing Hammond to jail for seven years., Judge Simon James said: "With three passengers in your vehicle you were driving at speeds well in excess of the speed limit and probably more than twice the legal alcohol limit.

"You drove the wrong way down a one way street and refused to heed the warning of your passengers to slow down."

He added: ""Although, of course, you didn't intend to kill him, his death was caused by your irresponsibility, criminally reckless speed, abject failure to have regard to the safety of others and your deliberate decision to drive while under the influence of alcohol, something which it appears you had a habit of doing."

Along with serving at least two thirds of his term in custody, Hammond was also disqualified from driving for six years from the date where he is first eligible for release.
