A cannabis farmer died after being tortured for four hours in front of his two children, a jury has been told.
Christopher Guest More Jr, found living in Malta under an assumed name in 2019, is accused at Chester Crown Court of being one of the gang who attacked him.He also denies conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm to Mr Waters and another man, Suleman Razak, who was also tortured.Prosecutor Nigel Power QC said Mr Razak, who worked at the cannabis farm with the Waters family, had given a "chilling" account of the attack.
He then had plant food poured over his body, a pillowcase on his head set alight, and a staple gun used on his feet and body.The court heard he later saw Mr Waters being pushed into the farm's cow shed and beaten with garden canes before being suspended upside down and struck again with canes and a metal bar.
Jurors heard that Mr Waters' children, Gavin, then 25, and Natalie, who turned 21 the day before her father's death, later arrived at the farm before being tied up by the gang and asked: "Where's the money?"He said: "She really panicked and said her dad needed hospital.Jurors were told she later saw him being cut loose and carried out of the shed, appearing to be limp.
Live by the sword, die by it, it's never been more apt than it is right here. Moral of the story? Don't get involved with drugs, simple as.
Live by the sword......
Burning binbag...how do people come up with this stuff? So cruel
Good
A drug dealer kills his drug supplier... not the most clever move.
Realise that the victim was not 'an innocent man' but, sometimes think that the death penalty might not be a bad idea.
Oh those poor kids. What a horrible thing for them to see.
Scum on scum crime.
This is exactly why we need to legal cannabis now. Legalise and tax, revenue for the NHS and 15% pay rise.
God, never get involved in drugs. Nothing but bad consequences.
