A son found guilty of manslaughter begged his mother not to tell police about his crime because he was terrified his children would be taken away from him.
Gareth Leach, had hoped to hide his part in the death of 45-year-old Dean Williamson last October.
However, the 28-year-old and his brother Kyle Martin, 22, were both this week found guilty of manslaughter after a three week-long trial at court.
