On Wednesday, March 8, emergency services responded to a distress call from a flat located off Wadsworth Street in Denaby Main.

She stated, “A young man lost his life in deeply tragic circumstances, and our thoughts are with Lewis’ family during what remains a very difficult time.” She further commented on Megan Sambrook’s acceptance of responsibility, noting, “Megan has accepted responsibility for her actions and understands that, although she may not have intended to kill Lewis, her violence that day led to her partner’s death. This is something she will have to come to terms with and face the consequences of her actions in prison.”
In court, Megan Sambrook pleaded guilty to manslaughter, leading to her five-year incarceration. The case has left the community of Doncaster and Denaby Main grappling with the tragic loss of a young life and the devastating impact of violence within intimate relationships.
