The teenager jailed over the murder of Roberts Buncis, two men given life sentences for killing a man in Boston, and a former Tory council leader now behind bars for fraud offences, were among those sentenced in November.
There were also cases outside of the county, but with Lincolnshire links. These included the sentencing of a man who organised the flight that killed Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala and Lincolnshire pilot David Ibbotson, four Kenyan cops found guilty of manslaughter, and a Grimsby man jailed after being caught in Cheshire by so-called ‘paedophile hunters’.
The Lincolnite’s court reporters cover all the biggest cases heard in our region every day.
Here’s a round up of signifiant cases resulting in prison sentences:
