A TEEN murderer who stabbed a man to death in Winsford and a burglar who broke into an elderly couple's home are two of the Mid-Cheshire criminals sent to prison in February 2022.
First up is this high profile murder case which shocked the Cheshire community.
A TEEN killer will serve a minimum of 19 years behind bars after a Cheshire judge branded him ‘one of the most dangerous 17-year-olds’ he had ever seen.
Noel Reade, of Crewe, was just 16 when he stabbed Keagan Crimes to death in Winsford on Sunday, October 11, 2020.
The killer can be named after the Guardian was successful in appealing a reporting restriction made by the court during the trial.
His Honour Judge Steven Everett, sentencing at Chester Crown Court on February 21, said: “You are one of the most dangerous 17-year-olds I’ve ever come across in my 40 years as a solicitor, barrister and judge.”
