The sentencing of seven men convicted of the vicious vigilante murder and mutilation of innocent Wigan man is to take place early next month.
The men have unanimously also been convicted of kidnapping 37-year-old former boxer Christopher Hughes, who was audaciously snatched off the street in broad daylight and bundled into the boot of a blue Audi A4 before being driven off to an agonising death.
The jury of eight men and four women at Liverpool Crown Court returned those verdicts yesterday (Monday) following just over 34 hours deliberations.
