A torture gang, a killer drink driver and a boasting drug dealer are amongst those who have been locked up in Greater Manchester this week.
Also jailed this week was a controlling thug who dubbed himself a ‘wife beater’ before repeatedly strangling his then partner, as well as a drug gang who were caught hiding in people’s gardens.
Prison sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
