3. Amos and Jason Wilsher
Derbyshire brothers Amos, 29, and Jason Wilsher, 22, were found guilty of murder after two pensioners killed in their homes in separate brutal robberies three years apart. Arthur Gumbley, 87, passed away three weeks after being callously beaten by Amos Wilsher, 29, and his brother Jason, 22, who stormed his property in November 2017.

Amos was found guilty of the murders of both Mr Gumbley and Mrs Kaye following a trial at Coventry Crown Court.

The brothers, formerly of Alfreton, will be sentenced at a later date. Photo: Derbyshire Police
