Peter Billington, a former teenage killer, is now jailed for drug dealing after a police raid revealed his extensive operation in Wirral
He was caught red-handed when the police raided his home in Wallasey. They found a stash of cocaine and cannabis, along with some pills. Billington tried to play the victim, saying he was being forced to store the drugs, but his phone told a different story.
Turns out, he was running a pretty big operation. The police found messages that showed he was buying and selling drugs like it was no big deal. It’s wild how someone can go from being a kid who made a terrible mistake to a full-blown drug dealer.
He’s got a history, too. He was convicted of manslaughter as a teenager after a violent incident that left a man dead. Now, he’s facing six years in prison for his latest crimes.
During the court hearing, his lawyer mentioned that he had been trying to turn his life around after getting out of prison in 2013. But after some tough times, including losing a family member, he fell back into bad habits.
It’s a sad story, really. He’s apologetic and seems to want to do better, but he’s got a long road ahead of him. The judge made it clear that drug dealing is serious business and it brings a lot of pain to people’s lives. Let’s hope he can find a way to make things right when he gets out.
