Four jailed for Piccadilly Gardens disorder

Four people received custodial sentences at Manchester Crown Court on Friday, for violent disorder.

They all pleaded guilty for their part in the outbreak that took place on Saturday, August 3.

Anthony Livesey (24) of Moorfield Avenue, Denton, has been sentenced to three years and two months.

Colin Demulder (36) of Altrincham Road, Manchester, has been sentenced to two years and eight months.

Kane Kelly (24) of Woodford Road, Failsworth, has been sentenced to two years and five months.

Daniel Hanslip (33) of Central Avenue, Shipley, Bradford, has been sentenced to two years and two months.

“Such behaviour will not be tolerated”

Detective inspector Andrew Naismith said: “We’re continuing to bring people to justice and so far across several operations has led to 108 suspects being identified, with 82 of those being charged and as the days pass more will start to be convicted for their actions.

“We are still maintaining patrols in key areas to ensure we can respond quickly to any ongoing disorder that may arise and would like to thank the public for their continued support and co-operation as we conduct further enquiries.

“I would like to thank the public for their support on our appeals – we have been able to take action on the back of your help.

“If you were involved in violent disorder expect a knock on the door if you haven’t already. Justice will be served against those who took part in mindless acts of violence across Greater Manchester.

“These sentences serve as a reminder that such behaviour will not be tolerated in our communities.”
