Cry of “yes” heard from the public gallery after axe murder verdicts announced
Two men have been found guilty of the murder of former Teesside boxer Mark Denton.
Anthony Middleton and David Sowerby were found guilty of the boxer’s murder by unanimous verdicts.
A jury of seven women and five men delivered their verdicts after one hour and 31 minutes of deliberations at Teesside Crown Court this afternoon.
A cry of “yes” was heard from the public gallery after the verdicts to the axe murder were announced. There was no visible reaction from the defendants.
The half-brothers will be sentenced by High Court judge Mr Justice Green at 2pm after a victim impact statement by Mark’s mum is read out to the court.
