Eight men have been jailed for a total of 235 years following the brutal murder of Wigan dad Christopher Hughes.
Mr Hughes' mutilated body was discovered on a country road on the outskirts of Skelmersdale by a dogwalker after he was bundled into the back of an Audi by and viciously attacked. The 37-year-old suffered nearly 100 separate injuries, having been hunted down by a vigilante gang who wrongly believed the dad had raped a teenager.
Seven men convicted of abducting and murdering the former boxer and an eighth man, Curtis Balbas, who admitted those offences, were sentenced today (February 9) at Liverpool Crown Court. They were locked up for a combined total of 235 years after being handed life imprisonments, the Liverpool Echo reports.
