All behind bars
A child killer, a devious son and a crook who put on a balaclava but failed to change the rest of his clothes are among those to have passed through the doors of Lancashire's courts this week.
Claire Scanlon murdered five-year-old Dylan Scanlon by poisoning him with anti-depressants. She has been jailed for life and will face a minimum term of 18 years. Daniel Cuthbert moved large sums of money, including his father’s entire redundancy pay-out, into his own account. The 42-year-old drained his dad’s life savings over a 14-month period between 2017 and 2018.
The "shameless offending" was uncovered when solicitors took control of Mrs Wright's finances due to her advancing dementia in late 2020. Fitzsimons was jailed for two years at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday - however, his victim did not live to see justice done, as she died in November 2021, the ECHO reports.
Bancroft, dressed in a white shirt which had a black stripe down the side and grey trousers, later returned and told the victim that he was “a dead man” and that he was “gonna get it”. PS Smith, whose badge number was 3140, was dismissed by Lancashire Constabulary with immediate effect as a result of the offence. Former PS Smith was alleged to have breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour by driving while above the limit.
The pair were arrested as part of Operation Venetic - an ongoing national fight against organised crime following the takedown of a bespoke encrypted global communication service used exclusively by criminals.
