A man who murdered a drug dealer in a robbery gone wrong, and a domestic abuser who killed his partner’s two pet dogs are among the crooks who have been jailed for crimes in and around Peterborough in June.
Lewis Hutchinson (30) will serve a minimum of 31 years behind bars after he was given a life sentence for the murder of Mihai Dobre in Peterborough. Hutchinson shot Mr Dobre in the head with a shot gun.
Matthew Stark was given a jail sentence of four years and eight months after he poisoned and strangled dogs Ronnie and Tiki.
These are not all the criminals jailed in June – but just the ones who police have published a picture of.
