Man who used car as ‘dangerous weapon' jailed for more than six years
A driver has been sentenced to six years and 10 months in prison after using his car as a 'highly dangerous weapon' to collide with a pedestrian. Ashley Sherred, 33, of Southampton Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire, admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving in June, and was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday. He was also sentenced for dangerous driving in relation to another incident, where he fled from police and rammed a police vehicle. On May 10, Sherred was captured on CCTV driving a blue Ford Fiesta while seemingly 'on something' doing wheel spins and handbrake turns in Pinewood Close, Salisbury. When the victim came out of his property to see what was happening, Sherred mounted the curb and deliberately collided with him, severely breaking his leg. As the defendant drove off at high speed, he threatened to return and burn their house down, the court heard. There was some suggestion that he did it as 'revenge' because someone in the victim's family had started dating his ex-girlfriend. When Sherred was arrested by police at a nearby pub later that day he reportedly told police 'yeah and he deserved it'. The victim's leg was described as 'swinging and hanging off' and, in a witness statement, he told the court 'there is still a chance I could lose my foot' and that doctors are not sure he will recover full movement in his leg. Judge Rufus Taylor said: 'You're in the middle of this close, driving extremely dangerously driving round and round on the grass. 'Your eyes were described as going everywhere looking crazy like you were on something.' 'You drove straight at him (the victim), you mounted the curb and collided with him, (the victim's) son witnessed it and described his father being thrown up in the air'. Sherred received five years and seven months for the attack and a year and a half concurrent for driving dangerously. He was also sentenced for an earlier incident of dangerous driving from August 31 last year, where he 'rammed' a police car while driving at double the legal intoxication limit. On that occasion, once he was caught, he told police he'd had 'nine pints of Guinness and a gram of cocaine' after being clocked travelling at up to 110mph. Sherred, this time driving a Honda CR-V SUV, drove at excessive speeds towards a police car, before braking and evading, then crashing into a fence outside a house and later driving on the wrong side of a junction. When he was caught, he reversed into a police car six times 'effectively ramming it each time' before both cars finally came to a stop. Judge Taylor called it the 'worst possible case of dangerous driving' as he ignored the rules of the road, evaded police, was intoxicated, and rammed a police car. Sherred received a further year and three months concurrent for that offence bringing his total sentence to six years and 10 months. He was also disqualified from driving for four years from the day of his release.

She Organized a Birthday Party for Ex-Fiancé So He Wouldn't Be 'Lonely.' Then He Killed Her — Now He Learns His Fate
James Cartwright was sentenced Friday for killing his ex-fiance Samantha Mickleburgh, who took him out to dinner on his birthday so he wouldn't be 'lonely'NEED TO KNOW James Cartwright was sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of his ex-fiancé Samantha Mickleburgh Cartwright was convicted last month of raping and strangling Mickleburgh to death The murder happened after Mickleburgh took Cartwright out to dinner for his 60th birthday in order to make sure he wasn't "lonely," prosecutors saidA British man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping and killing his ex-fiancé after a birthday dinner she arranged for him in an effort to make sure he wasn't 'lonely.'James Cartwright was sentenced Friday morning, per the BBC. Cartwright, 61, was found guilty last week of raping and fatally strangling Samantha Mickleburgh, his 54-year-old ex-fiance, in April 2024. At his sentencing, Mickleburgh's family members described Cartwright as an 'evil, controlling, manipulative predator,' according to the outlet. The Crown Prosecution Service said Mickleburgh had 'found their relationship suffocating' and asked Cartwright to move out of her house after breaking up with him weeks before the murder. 'She said despite Cartwright moving out of her house a few weeks earlier, he had not accepted that the relationship was over, despite him moving in with a new partner,' the CPS said in a news release. The Telegraph reported that during the murder trial, prosecutors said Mickleburgh had described Cartwright's behavior to friends as 'insecure,' 'clingy,' 'child-like' and 'suffocating,' leading her to break off their relationship and ask him to move out. However, PEOPLE previously reported that Mickleburgh, a widower, still decided to stick with plans to celebrate Cartwright's 60th birthday, fearing that he would be 'lonely.' Mickleburgh booked a hotel room for her and her ex-fiance — with two twin beds — at the Pennyhill Park hotel in Bagshot, Surrey, and planned a six-course tasting menu at the hotel restaurant. Wait staff noticed Mickleburgh 'looked more and more sleepy and at points her eyes were closed and she looked like she was sleeping' throughout the dinner that night, prosecutors claimed according to The Times. The couple abruptly left before finishing the meal and went back up to their hotel room, according to the outlet, which was the last time Mickleburgh was seen alive. The next morning, Cartwright called emergency services to the room and claimed he woke up to find Mickleburgh dead, alleging she had fallen from the bed and hit her nose, according to the CPS. When questioned by police, Cartwright claimed he and his ex-fiance had consensual sex before going to sleep, The Times investigators didn't buy it. 'It was clear from the forensic evidence that Samantha had been murdered,' CPS prosecutor Moses Koroma said. 'She was strangled and had a significant head injury, and the jury saw straight through Cartwright's claims that this had all resulted from her falling out of bed.' At Cartwright's sentencing Friday, some of Mickleburgh's family members were allowed the chance to address the convicted murderer, per the BBC. 'Our family welcomed you into homes and hearts and you violated that trust and kindness,' Mickleburgh's sister Tracey Carter reportedly told Cartwright. "Did you feel proud of yourself when you lied to my father, saying that Sam had died in her sleep knowing full well the horror that you had put her through?" "You have caused an indescribable amount of pain and suffering to our family," Carter continued. "But know this: We are strong and you cannot break us, you cannot take Sam from us."
