Brother and sister who plotted to kill man after text row lose murder appeal

A brother and sister who organised a joint plot to kill the sister's former lover over a text row have had their murder appeals rejected. Siblings Aaron and Melissa Stubbs saw their appeals, alongside those of their fellow conspirators Stephen Strutt and Peter Walker, thrown out for the murder of Warren Glover.

Glover was killed in 2020 after the siblings vowed to teach him "a lesson" for sending Melissa and her parents abusive messages after she broke up with him. Aaron Stubbs recruited two friends, Stephen Strutt and Peter Walker, to help the duo in their revenge plot.

The foursome set off from Manchester and drove to St Helen's in hunt for their victim, reports the Liverpool Echo. An eyewitness, Andrew Carney, said Glover was aware of the group's intentions and had armed himself with a hammer.
