A man who shot Indian student Anuj Bidve in the head has been convicted of his murder at Manchester Crown Court.

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, denied murder but had admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

He will be sentenced on Friday.

Brian Cummings QC, prosecuting, said the starting point for a murder using a firearm was 30 years in prison.

Does that actually mean he'll serve it though?

Tony Argent, gunned down Paul Edmonds;

Appeal denied, must serve his minimum sentence (20years) before being eligible for parole.

Jack Whomes and Mick Steele;

Appeal denied.

Given his lack of remorse or compassion, his attitude towards the court, etc I doubt Stapleton will be out any time soon.

30 years, great, he'll be prison gay before you know it.
