Four people are facing at least 28 years in total in jail after they were found guilty of robbing a taxi driver in Clifton. Kirsty Miller, 25, of Cherhill Close; Craig Grocock, 25, of Rise Park; Lance Reid, 36, of Elford Rise, Sneinton; Cornelius Duggan, 25, of Hartness Road, Clifton, were all convicted of robbery at Nottingham Crown Court. A fifth accused, Leon Fuller, 27, of Ladysmith Street, Sneinton, was found not guilty. Judge Andrew Hamilton adjourned sentencing on Wednesday, February 4, until Tuesday, February 10, and remanded all four found guilty in custody. Prosecutor Abigail Joyce told the judge the robbery, which involved a taxi driver losing the top of two of his fingers and a stab wound to his thigh, fell into category three on the sentencing guidelines. “The starting point for that category is eight years in custody, with a range of seven to 12 years,” she Miss Joyce. The driver, Vladmir Qevani, was stabbed with a weapon, there was more than one person involved, there was “clear planning” and the driver was a “vulnerable victim”, she added. Jurors heard Mr Qevani drove his Skoda Octavia taxi to Cherhill Close, Clifton, to collect a £5 outstanding fare when he was attacked. Mr Qevani, a self-employed driver for NG11 Cars, Clifton, was allegedly “set up” to be robbed on December 11, 2013. He told jurors he was dragged inside a house after he arrived. He held on to the frame of a door – but it was shut on his fingers three or four times. The driver walked over and showed jurors his two shorter fingers on his left hand where the tips had gone. He also described how he was held in a headlock inside the house and told to hand over his money. His pockets were searched and he was stabbed in his left thigh. Mr Qevani was set up to be robbed by defendants Kirsty Miller and Craig Grocock. Co-accused Lance Reid and Cornelius Duggan were together in an Astra car before the robbery. Reid was also found of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice with defendant Richard McGuire, 47, a taxi driver of Whitegate Vale, Clifton, between April 1 and June 10, last year. Shareen Morris, 25, of Wilkins Gardens, Clifton, was cleared unanimously. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Clifton-t ... J5,BCEHQ,1 |
