Some truly awful cases
This month saw the conclusion of two tragic cases involving the death of a pensioner and a man on a night out in separate but truly horrifying circumstances where they were both killed quite by random.
In another case heard this month, the court heard how a thug assaulted a 15-year-old girl and threw a flat-screen TV at his former partner as he rampaged through a house during two terrifying incidents. A court also heard how an arsonist set fire to a woman's house whilst she was inside with her two daughters. Danny Fretwell, 24, of Griffin Road, Sutton in Ashfield, deliberately started the blaze at the victim's house in Mansfield following an argument on October 13, 2021.Nobody was injured, but the blaze caused around £20,000 in damage. Fretwell pleaded guilty to a charge of arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered at Nottingham Crown Court on February 16.
Prolific offender Shane Green was jailed after leaving his blood at the scene of a burglary. He smashed his way into the Lammas Leisure Centre, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, causing more than £2,500 of damage and making off with more than £13,500 of goods.
