Self-confessed murderer jailed for 18 years for killing ‘truly loved' man in town
A self-confessed murderer has been jailed for 18 years for killing a 'truly loved' man in an East Yorkshire town's marketplace. Timothy Tinson admitted murdering Matthew Phillips, 44, in Beverley after changing his plea on Monday (August 3). The 43-year-old, of Lairgate in Beverley, was today (Tuesday, August 5) sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 18 years for the murder in Saturday Market earlier this year. Mr Phillips' sister said he was 'truly loved' and 'meant everything to us'. She said the family's 'world has fallen apart' after Mr Phillips died in a 'violet and cruel' way which was 'impossible to make sense of'. Humberside Police said officers were called to Saturday Market at around 1am on Saturday, January 4, and found a man with a 'serious head injury lying unconscious in the road'. Tinson was subsequently arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder. A police spokesperson said Tinson and Mr Phillips knew each other through a mutual acquaintance. They said Humberside Police has made a 'mandatory referral' to the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), due to prior police contact with Tinson and Mr Phillips. The IOPC's investigation 'remains active but paused pending the conclusion of the judicial process', the Humberside Police spokesperson said. On Friday, January 3, they said Tinson and Mr Phillips had been at a property in Lairgate when a 'verbal disagreement occurred and Tinson was asked to leave'. A final encounter happened between the pair later that night which involved a verbal exchange leading to a physical confrontation, which resulted in Mr Phillips falling into the road. The police spokesperson said Tinson 'continued his violent encounter, in which he repeatedly applied force' to Mr Phillips' head, 'leaving him unconscious with life-threatening injuries'. Mr Phillips was taken to hospital but died from his injuries shortly afterwards. Speaking after Tinson was jailed, Detective Chief Inspector Leanne Murphy, from Humberside Police, said: 'By receiving his sentence today, he is being held accountable for the devastation he caused, sparing Matthew's family the further anguish of a prolonged trial. 'I hope today's outcome provides his loved ones with a measure of comfort in knowing the person responsible is now facing the consequences of his actions.' 'His memory will always be with us,' says victim's family Mr Phillips' sister, in a tribute released by Humberside Police, said: 'We're shattered. We're hurting deeply and still trying to understand how this could have happened. 'What Tinson did didn't just take Matthew's life – it took away all his hopes, dreams, and the future we thought we'd have with him. That future is now gone. 'So many lives have been affected. And the pain will never go away. 'We miss Matthew every single day. But his memory will always be with us, in our hearts, and in everything we do.'

SNP slammed as number of police officers cut by 1,000 over five years
The Scottish Government have been accused of 'hollowing out Police Scotland' as new figures show the number of police officers in Scotland has plummeted in recent years. The total number of police officers has also fallen sharply the past five years, declining by 1,000 after reaching a high of just over 17,400 at the beginning of 2020. However, the numbers show a marginal increase on 2024, where full-time police officers dropped to a 16-year low of just over 16,200. Labour MSP Pauline McNeil has spoken out. (Image: PA) Pauline McNeil MSP, Scottish Labour's Justice spokesperson in Holyrood has accused the Scottish Government of 'blowing apart Scots' basic right to have a crime reported and responded to quickly." Ms McNeil added: 'Police Scotland is already stretched to breaking point and communities often feel that police response times are becoming unacceptably long. 'The SNP's failure to protect police officer numbers has blown apart Scots' basic right to have a crime reported and responded to quickly. 'Each time these figures come out we see more evidence of the SNP's neglect and its failure to protect Scotland's police force or retain an effective policing model. 'The SNP has hollowed out Police Scotland over recent years, forcing police officers and staff to go above and beyond to paper over the cracks. 'The SNP cannot keep playing fast and loose with the safety of our communities – a Scottish Labour government will support policing and make sure our country has the police officers it needs.' Joani Reid, the newly-elected [[Scottish Labour]] Party MP for East Kilbride and Straven said the figures were 'hugely disappointing." She added: "Cutting police numbers is a false economy, adding to overtime bills and placing more strain on officers still in post. It's another sign of how the [[SNP]] government in Edinburgh has lost its way. "Instead of their forever war over another divisive independence referendum SNP ministers should be focusing on things that really matter to people: like stopping crime and arresting and convicting offenders. 'But all week long we've just seen one SNP figure after another argue about the constitution. Public services are very obviously not their top priority despite that being literally what they are paid to care about."

The rest of Scotland has moved on but they haven't. "My constituents want action on knife crime, on drug deaths, on child sexual exploitation - all things where a cut in police numbers is absolutely the wrong way to go. "The SNP are out of energy, out of ideas and really should be out of office." In a statement, Justice Secretary Angela Constance said: 'We are investing a record £1.64 billion for policing this year, and our continued investment enabled Police Scotland to take on more recruits in the last financial year than at any time since 2013. "There has been a further intake of recruits since this statistical reporting period and more intakes are planned this year. 'Scotland continues to have more police officers per capita than England and Wales and recorded crime has fallen by more than half since 1991.'
