Wayne Peckham, 49, and son Riley Peckham, 23, were jailed for the 'harrowing and brutal' murder of Matthew Rodwell
A man was jailed for 24 years after he murdered his estranged wife's new lover with the help of his son, after discovering him hiding inside a wardrobe. Wayne Peckham, 49, and son Riley Peckham, 23, were caged after being found guilty of the "harrowing and brutal" murder of Matthew Rodwell, 39, at the property in Downham Market, Norfolk.
Judge Anthony Bate said: "Wayne had committed targetted vandalism to Matthew's car, stalked him on previous occasions and set fire to a coat Matthew bought for Wayne's youngest son Harvey and posted the video on Facebook. After gaining entry, Riley found Matthew's shoes at the bottom of the stairs , and shouted, "he's here" to his father who was waiting outside. Wayne then let himself in through the front door.
Kerry tried to get herself between them to halt the vicious attack but Matthew had 40 "significant" injuries from being kicked, stamped and punched and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Wayne tried to hide behind a curtain but was detained at the scene, while Riley escaped in handcuffs and was eventually caught a couple of hours later at his step-grandfather's address. Matthew's blood was found on the pair's clothing, with his DNA under their fingernails.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Chris Burgess, from the Major Investigation Team, said: "This was a harrowing and brutal murder. I know some of the evidence given in court, especially the 999 call, has been difficult to listen to.
