'CONTRACT-KILLING' TAXI DRIVER LOSES LICENCE
A plymouth taxi driver who plotted to have his wife killed in a road 'accident' has had his cabbie's licence revoked. City councillors said they were revoking Nigel Cox's licence because of concern for the public's safety.
Cox, 39, is serving a seven-year sentence for plotting the contract killing of his wife Amanda.
Members of Plymouth City Council's Licensing Committee (Hackney Carriage) were told that their officers were seeking a 'formal revocation' of Cox's private hire licence in the light of his conviction. Councillors held their deliberations in closed session.
But they were told in a report that regulations allowed them to revoke the licence if the holder had been convicted of an offence involving violence or 'any other reasonable cause'. After the behind-closed-doors discussion, committee chairman Tom Wildy said members had decided to revoke the licence.
Cllr Wildy said: "In view of the serious nature of the offence and concern about public safety, the committee does not consider it reasonable for him to be holding the licence and have revoked it."
Father-of-two Cox, of Leigh Court, Eggbuckland, who was married for 14 years, was jailed in August after admitting trying to get an undercover police officer to murder his wife in a road accident.
