Gangster gran stabbed to death after raiding house with weapons to settle drug debt

A drug dealer gran was stabbed to death out of 'self defence' after she stormed into a property with a machete and demanded a £120 debt. Debbie Twist, 47 who was the head of her family's drug ring was killed after she raided the property with her son, Jordan Winstanley and Robbie Arnold, who worked for them, the Mirror reports.

The trio smashed the back window and entered the property in Wigan on March 17, 2019 wearing masks to collect the drug debt from an innocent father of a customer who had failed to pay. The victim defended himself with a knife after he was threatened with a hammer and a machete, Bolton Crown Court heard.

He was slashing in the direction of the intruders to protect himself when he stabbed Debbie Twist in the left side of her chest. GMP also confirmed that the home owner's pregnant partner was threatened with a firearm during the attack.
