Cousins who murdered a dad and dismembered his body, storing it in four suitcases were among those jailed in our region last month.
Prison terms were also handed to a negligent doctor who killed a mum-of-three after carrying out a 'highly dangerous procedure' without her consent.
A young dad who inadvertently supplied undercover police officers with drugs on his first day 'on the job' in order to repay a debt to his dealer was also put behind bars.
