From a murderer who was back in court for attacking police officers to dealers running huge drugs operations, these offenders have been brought to justice.
Among the criminals who were sentenced this month was murderer Robert Jean who stabbed his housemates to death in a frenzied attack, and killer Mark Metcalfe who stored a woman’s body in a wheelie bin outside his home.
After a very busy month for judges at Leeds Crown Court, here are 40 of the criminals who appeared in the dock -
37. Martin Waddington
Martin Waddington, 41, of Eastwood Crescent, Swarcliffe, was jailed for seven years after he was found guilty by a jury of attempted rape, two counts of indecency with a child and three counts of indecent assault. The court heard that he tried to rape an eight-year-old boy in the 1990s. | Adobe
