A man was jailed for 24 years after he murdered his estranged wife's new lover with the help of his son, after discovering him hiding inside a wardrobe. Wayne Peckham, 49, and son Riley Peckham, 23, were caged after being found guilty of the "harrowing and brutal" murder of Matthew Rodwell, 39, at the property in Downham Market, Norfolk.
A court heard that the pair hunted down Mr Rodwell, 39, after forcing their way inside on January 23, 2022. Riley yelled "you're going to die", "here doggy" and "good boy" before finding him in a young boy's wardrobe, reports the Mirror.
Peckham senior, who had seperated from wife Kerry Peckham, gained access to the house Kerry shared with Matthew after their son Riley climbed through a first-floor window. It was then that they hunted Matthew down and beat and strangled him to death in front of Mrs Peckham.
