This week, 16 criminals from Merseyside were sentenced for various serious offenses, including drug dealing and violent crimes.
One guy, Jamie Hughes, was driving under the influence of ketamine when he crashed and killed his girlfriend. It’s heartbreaking to think about how her life was cut short at just 21. He’s now facing a long time behind bars.
Then there’s Anthony Edwards, a grandad who was caught trying to import drugs from the Netherlands. He and his brother were using secret codes to communicate about their drug deals. They’ve both been sentenced to serious time.
And let’s not forget about the gunman, Nathan Higham, who fired shots during a silly argument. He and his accomplices tried to cover their tracks but ended up getting caught. They’re all looking at five years in prison.
It’s a tough week for Merseyside, with 16 people locked up for crimes that have affected so many lives. It’s a reminder of the darker side of life that we sometimes forget about.
