NEIL VICKERS

Fox and Challinor

A man burned a father-of-five to death over an unpaid debt of £200 - and suffered horrific injuries in the attack.

Kevin Fox, 25, claimed he had nothing to do with the death of his former housemate, Neil Vickers, despite extensive burns over his face and arms. Full story

But today he was jailed for 21 years after being found guilty of murder at Chester Crown Court, and accomplice Wayne Challinor, 32, was jailed for 26 years.

The duo carried out the attack while Mr Vickers was sleeping in a caravan in the early hours of Sunday, April 15 last year because Fox was seeking revenge for an unpaid debt of £200 from when they had previously lived together.

As Neil Vickers slept, Fox doused the caravan's door in fuel but Wayne Challinor, of Stoke on Trent, ignited the petrol before Fox could move away and the flames blew back covering Fox.

Neil Vickers died at the scene and Kevin Fox, realising his burns would give him away, fled from his home in Norton, Cheshire, to Scotland.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Bailey, of Cheshire Police, said: "To these men, the life of a fellow human being was worth £200, nothing more."

But these days a human life is not even worth that and thugs will kill for nothing - or over a £200 debt - because under New Labour only the lives of criminals are worth considering!

Thugs murder innocent people and are allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter - children are murdered by other children over nothing.

And despite government promises and headline "initiatives", (initiatives which are abandoned almost as soon as they are announced) knife and gun crime escalates every day!

And while the corpses pile up the only question left in New Labour's Britain is...who's next?

And the answer is "it could be you - or your children - or anyone you love - unless and until the Death Penalty is restored!
