Lauren Harris, 29, of no fixed abode but originally from the Llandudno area, and David Webster, 43, of Lacey Street, Widnes were sentenced to life in prison at Mold Crown Court on August 12 2024. Harris must serve a minimum of 25 years imprisonment and Webster must serve a minimum term of 23 years before they will be eligible to apply for parole.

Superintendent Sarah-Jayne Williams, Senior Investigating Officer, said: “This was a violent and senseless murder of a much-loved father, husband, son, brother and grandfather, whose life was taken from him in such unnecessary circumstances.

“Harris and Webster callously murdered Mark in his own home in a sustained attack, where he should have been safe. They took his belongings, including his car, which Harris subsequently crashed.

“They have prolonged his family’s suffering by refusing to admit their part in killing Mark, whilst showing no remorse for their actions.”
