المطالبة بتسليح الشرطة البريطانية بعد مقتل شرطيتين

13 يونيو 2013
حكمت المحكمة حضوريا على المتهم (كريجان) البريطاني بالموت في السجن بسبب إستدراجه للشرطة الى منزله للإبلاغ عن سرقة في حديقته الخلفية ولكن البلاغ كان كاذبا ولم يكن سوى فخ نصبه للشرطيتين الذان قتلهما في منزله بدم بارد, والجدير بالذكر أن الرجل هو مجرم وكان مطلوبا للقضاء.



Killer Cregan will die in jail



Cold-blooded killer Dale Cregan has been told he will die in prison for the murders of two unarmed policewomen and a father and son.

Cregan, 30, described by Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy as a "scourge on our society", was given a whole life sentence at Preston Crown Court by Mr Justice Holroyde QC at the end of a trial which laid bare the sheer brutality of Manchester's underworld.

One-eyed Cregan was already on the run for the murders of David Short, 46, and son Mark, 23, when he killed policewomen Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, in a horrifying gun and grenade attack.

Sentencing Cregan, Mr Justice Holroyde said he had "acted with pre-meditated savagery" in the "quite appalling" murders.

"You, Cregan, drew those two officers into a calculated trap for the sole purpose of murdering them in cold blood," he said.

Cregan was cleared of a charge of attempted murder involving a grenade attack on Sharon Hark, which he denied. But during his trial he had admitted the four murders and the attempted murders of three others, along with a count of causing an explosion with a hand grenade.

Nine other defendants faced trial alongside him on various charges linked to the deaths of the Shorts. Four of them were cleared.

Leon Atkinson, 35, from Ashton-under-Lyne, Ryan Hadfield, 29, from Droylsden, and Matthew James, 33, from Clayton, were cleared of the murder of Mark Short in the Cotton Tree pub and the attempted murders of three others in the pub.

Luke Livesey, 28, from Hattersley, and Damian Gorman, 38, from Glossop, were found guilty of those charges.

Anthony Wilkinson, 34, from Beswick, pleaded guilty during the trial to murdering David Short and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was cleared of one count of attempted murder of Mrs Hark on the same day and cleared of causing an explosion with a hand grenade. Francis Dixon, 38, from Stalybridge, was acquitted of the murder of David Short, the attempted murder of Mrs Hark and causing an explosion with a hand grenade. Jermaine Ward, 24, was found guilty of the murder of David Short but cleared of the attempted murder of Mrs Hark and causing an explosion with a hand grenade. Mohammed Ali, 32, from Chadderton, was found guilty of assisting an offender.
