Two men have been found guilty of helping triple killer Joanna Dennehy during her 12-day spree of violence.

Dennehy stabbed three men in Cambridgeshire and attempted to kill two more in Hereford last year.

Cambridge Crown Court foundGary 'Stretch' Richards, 47, guilty of one count of attempted murder and three counts of preventing the lawful burial of a body.

Leslie Layton, 36, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

The jury are still deliberating one charge of attempted murder against Richards and two counts of preventing a lawful burial against Layton.

Dennehy pled guilty to murdering three men in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Her victims Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, John Chapman, 56 and Kevin Lee, 48, who was her lover, had been stabbed in the chest.

She also admitted the attempted murders of Robin Bereza and John Rogers, who she randomly selected and stabbed in the street in Hereford.
