A paedophile who committed vile acts of sex abuse against animals and children was one of the criminals jailed in Greater Manchester this week.
A dad who killed his eight-year-old son after his BMW aquaplaned on the M60 while he was 13 times the drug-driving limit has also been put behind bars. A banned driver who climbed over his partner as she lay in the passenger seat with life-threatening injuries to escape from the scene of a crash was also handed jail terms.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
