Victim's family scream 'rat' at dealer who killed innocent dad for his rolex

A drug dealer who took part in an horrific gang attack to steal a Rolex watch from a dad has been jailed.

Jordan Short, of Rushey Hey Road, Kirkby, was 19 when he took part in the killing of joiner Steven McMyler, a 34-year-old father of two young children, in the grounds of Wigan Parish Church on August 6, 2020.

Now 21, Short was today, Tuesday, December 13, jailed for 13 years for his part in the crime. Four others were sentenced last year but, at the time, Short was considered too ill to take part in the trial of his co-defendants after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
