Police officers son jailed for 40 years in Dudley double murder

Jonathan Houseman worked in the waste disposal business and he owed alot of money for work two former associates had done for him.
He has been convicted of the executions of Brian McIntosh and William Henry St Martin as a result of pure greed the judge said.

He owed the pair both from Birmingham at least £400,000 police said in court and after luring them to an industrial estate in Brierley Hill he shot them as they sat in a Range Rover.

Driver Mr McIntosh, 29, was hit four times in the face and neck, while front seat passenger Mr Henry St Martin, 31, was struck twice, in the head and shoulder. They died almost instantly in the car at the Albion Works industrial estate.

Backseat passenger Houseman, aged 32, fled the scene in a car he’d parked nearby and arrived at the H2O car valet business run by friend Richard Avery at the Merry Hill shopping centre 10 minutes later.

CCTV shows Houseman removing his clothes, which would have been covered in blood and gunshot residue, and appearing to spray himself with cleaning fluid given to him by Avery.
