Summary
In this episode, I tell the story of Ricky Wyatt, a 34-year-old father-of-one who was murdered in Laindon, Essex, on September 1, 2006.
Ricky was confronted by 32-year-old Kathryn Taylor and 29-year-old Matthew Boulton in a car park on Little Lullaway before being stabbed by the former.
The encounter was rumoured to have occurred over a £5 drug debt, but Judge Clegg dismissed that claim at Basildon Crown Court.
Regardless, the jury found Taylor guilty of Ricky's murder, and she was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 16 years.
Boulton was found guilty of assisting an offender and handed a two-and-a-half-year sentence.
