This is awful 😔
A millionaire businessman who organised a fatal vigilante attack on a man he wrongly believed had burgled his daughter has been jailed for 15 years.
He even posted an ominous message on social media which read: ‘Whoever burgled my daughter’s house last night and took her car, your life is about to change, trust me.’But he was attacked with a cosh and a knuckle duster and was declared dead at his Hartlepool home after suffering more than 50 separate injuries.Jailing him, Mr Justice Jacobs told Elliott ‘the problem with street justice is that it is not justice at all.
After his daughter’s home was burgled, Elliott and his ‘foot soldiers’ viewed CCTV from near to the scene and came to the conclusion that Mr Phillips, a recovering heroin addict, was the culprit. He was beaten so badly that when that his chest gave way when paramedics attempted to resuscitate him.Elliott tried to claim he had been ‘dumbstruck’ when he heard an ambulance was called and did not believe Mr Phillips had been killed.
