On the 31st January Lee Knox is the fifth person to be jailed for Joseph Mckeevers murder in 2017 after he went on the run to Spain and Ireland for several years. He gave evidence against his co defendants but was found guilty anyway. On the evening of June 15, 2017, an electric blue Ford Focus ST was picked up on CCTV cameras heading towards Anfield.
Just before 10.55pm it mounted a kerb on Wyre Road in Everton and drove onto a patch of wasteland behind St Domingo car park.
Two minutes later, the stolen car was set ablaze.
When firefighters arrived, the arsonist had long gone. But after putting out the flames, inside its boot they made a horrific discovery - the battered and charred remains of a man's body.
Detectives soon learned this was not the first arson attack on a vehicle in Merseyside that day. Nor was it to be the last.
Liverpool Crown Court heard 150 kilo of cannabis was imported by Mr McKeever and a business partner, James 'Jimmy' Doyle, who provided transport and logistics.
The intended customers were two men: crack cocaine and ecstasy dealer Lee Knox, then 40, and a young mechanic, 21-year-old Jamie Grimes.
For around a year, the two friends had been involved in the wholesale supply of cannabis in Merseyside. And there were healthy profits to be made. But the importation was seized at customs in Newhaven ,East Sussex.
