Grimsby men jailed for Adam Vincent murder to appeal

Three men convicted of the murder of a Grimsby man have been granted permission to appeal against the length of their sentences.

Adam Vincent's body parts were found in waterways across north Lincolnshire in 2011.

Lee Griffiths, 43, his son Thomas, 22, and Mark Jackson, 27, all of Scartho Grimsby, were convicted of murder in January.

No date has been set for their appeal to be heard.

Lee Griffiths was jailed for at least 32 years, Thomas Griffiths for 27 years and Jackson for 29 years, following their trial at Sheffield Crown Court.

'Stolen drugs'

The three men were also convicted of perverting the course of justice, while Lee and Thomas Griffiths were also found guilty of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

It was claimed during their trial 33-year-old Mr Vincent had been killed by the group because they believed he had stolen drugs and money from them.

Mr Vincent had lived with the Griffiths at Southfield Road, Scartho.

A post-mortem examination revealed he had been tortured in the days leading up to his death.

A fourth man, Luke Griffiths, 19, was jailed for 26 years for murder and perverting the course of justice.

Matthew Frow, 31, of Southfield Road, Scartho, was acquitted of murder but was sentenced to 15 years for causing grievous bodily harm, perverting the course of justice and conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
