22/04/2015

A man has been jailed for at least 32 years for the “savage, pre-planned” murder of a woman found dead in a horse paddock.

Justin Robertson, 36, was paid £1,500 by Benjamin Carr, 22, to “silence” his former stepmother Pennie Davis after a long-running feud between the pair. 

Robertson had denied murder but was convicted after a six-week trial.

Carr, from Southampton, was convicted of conspiracy to murder and will serve a minimum of 30 years.
