Gran at head of family drug ring died after homeowner stabbed her when she stormed his house in terrifying armed attack
A drug dealing mum died when she was stabbed by a homeowner trying to defend himself after she stormed his home with her son in a terrifying armed attack.
Bolton Crown Court heard he picked up a knife and slashed in the direction of the intruders to fend off their blows when he stabbed Debbie Twist in the left side of her chest. She was taken to hospital but later died from her wounds, prosecutor John Richards told the court. Bethany Twist and Guy, a couple, did not have any part in the aggravated burglary but were part of the same criminal operation, Mr Richards explained. He went on to say that they had been dealing cannabis in the area to whom the defence claims were friends of theirs, rather than strangers.
She asked her son and Robbie to knock on the door and ask for the return of the money. At 6pm that evening, the group returned and when they received no response from knocking, they all made their way to the back of the property and burst in. “In total, what was found was £4,360 worth of cocaine, £250 of skunk cannabis, and £30 of cannabis resin,” Mr Richards said. “Over 200 messages were found on the phones relating to the sale of drugs, one saying ‘need flake, bare power’.”
“He has stepped away from that following the tragic loss of his mother. This goes some way to his better character that he has not resorted to this behaviour having lost his mother in these circumstances.” Representing Guy, Eleanor Gleeson explained that he is also a man of previous good character and a father of two. “He understands the severity of his actions,” Ms Gleeson said.
Following the court case, Detective Chief Inspector Wes Knights of the Major Incident Team said: “We are extremely pleased with today’s results, which reflect the severity of this attack.
