Burglars get life for killing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THREE burglars were yesterday given life sentences for the murder of a keen runner who chased and caught up with them after he returned home from work to find that they had ransacked his house. Christopher Williams, 23, died from a stab wound to his heart when the gang turned on him and attacked him on waste ground in July last year. His pregnant girlfriend and their three-year-old daughter slept upstairs at their home in Nantyfyllon, Mid Glamorgan, unaware of the tragedy.
Yesterday Alan Naylor, 27, Wyndham Richard Thomas, 21, and Christopher Chislett, 18, were each found guilty of the murder and aggravated burglary. Sentencing them at Swansea Crown Court, Mr Justice Maurice Kay said a "decent and brave young man" had been killed.
