A security guard has been found guilty of 'vicious attacks' on two men, killing an army veteran and hiding his body in the woods before attempting to kill a second man.
Jack Crawley, 20, was found guilty of murdering Paul Taylor, 56, after the pair initially met online. Mr Taylor had travelled to Carlisle to meet Crawley in October 2023, where he was tragically 'fatally assaulted' by the young man.

The 20-year-old was found guilty of murder on October 21, following a trial at Carlisle Crown Court. He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of a second man.
