Maurice Jones Jailed For 30 Years In UK
25-year-old Maurice Jones has been jailed for 30 years in the UK after being convicted of murdering a father while he was pushing his young son.
A statement from the Wiltshire Police said, “Maurice Jones, 25, of Gainsborough Close, Bemerton Heath, was convicted of murder and possession of a bladed article following a two-week trial by jury in June this year.
“On August 22 last year, Jones – who had recently moved to the area to live with Tsvetomir’s former partner – confronted Tsvetomir, known as TG, in Gainsborough Close following issues relating to TG’s son and TG’s former partner.
“TG, who was walking his son in a pushchair back to his son’s mother’s house, was subjected to a violent attack by Jones, sustaining numerous stab wounds.
“Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, TG sadly died at the scene.”
“Jones fled from the scene, discarding the knife and his trousers. Thanks to key witnesses and intelligence from members of the public, he was swiftly arrested and taken to custody.
“After being charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, Jones pleaded not guilty to both. During the trial, Jones claimed to have only taken a knife for his own protection and then used it out of fear, claiming to have lost control of himself. This was dismissed by the jury.
