Behind bars: Criminals locked up in Lincolnshire in November

A “brutal and callous” murderer given a life sentence with a minimum of 18 years, and a ‘vile predator’ found guilty of child sex offences, were among those put behind bars in Greater Lincolnshire in November.

In addition, there were two cases dealt with by police forces further afield – a man arrested in Lincolnshire was jailed for killing his brother and assaulting his mother, and another male was arrested in Newark after having sexual chats with an undercover officer he thought was a teenage girl.
