Predator, party killers and unlucky dealer amongst those jailed in Greater Manchester this week
Two men who brutally murdered a 20-year-old at Manchester’s Caribbean Carnival have been jailed for life in Greater Manchester this week.
Javell was not armed but was chased down and repeatedly stabbed by Jacob Doughty, 22, and Deontay Crosfield. Manchester Crown Court heard that Doughty inflicted the fatal blow with a fearsome 'samurai sword'. He worked as a courier for Stockport based drugs boss Aaron Wright, who was at 'the top of the tree' of the crime gang. Wright, 37, was said to be involved with at least 60 kilos of cocaine, while Jervis was linked to 39 kilos of the class A drug.
Wright was sentenced to 13-and-a-half years in prison, while Jervis received nine years and four months Manchester Crown Court heard that two days before the attempted rape, Roche had grabbed hold of a woman on the street before she was able to get away. "In short, Mr Roche, you are every woman's worst nightmare," Judge Sarah Johnston told him, describing him as a 'dangerous' criminal who poses a 'continuing risk to the public'.
Most of the 41-year-old's heinous crimes were carried out when the victims were young girls. Williamson was arrested in December 2018 and charged in 2020. The court heard Lewis then went upstairs to confront the other woman. He dragged her out of a bedroom and down the stairs.
