A drug dealing thug who took part in an horrific gang attack to steal a Rolex watch from a dad has been jailed after he admitted manslaughter.
Jordan Short was 19 when he joined a gang which robbed joiner Steven McMyler, a 34-year-old father of two young children, in the grounds of Wigan Parish Church on August 6, 2020. Today (Tuesday) Short was jailed for his part in the crime. Four others were caged last year.
On the day he was killed, Mr McMyler had been to Goldsmiths' jewellers in Wigan to get an updated valuation for his Rolex Submariner watch, which had previously been valued at £11.500, prosecutor Mark Ford KC told Manchester Crown Court.
