IAN GORDON SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR MURDER IN THE CITY

In March 2016, Ian Gordon was handed a life sentence for the brutal killing of his partner, Ann-Marie Cropper. Gordon, who was 52 years old at the time, was convicted of causing her death following a sustained assault that resulted in over 100 injuries. The court was told that Gordon had a history of violent behavior and had previously served time for child rape. His attack on Cropper inflicted severe suffering, and he showed no remorse for his actions.
