Man's killers get life sentences
Tarquin Turner
Mr Turner was found outside a cricket club
Two men who battered a 31-year-old hospital worker to death have been jailed for life.

William Charlton, 21, and Carl Wood, 17, from Fagley, were found guilty of murdering Tarquin Turner in the grounds of Undercliffe Cricket Club last year.

Charlton will serve a minimum of 14 years, while Wood will serve at least 12 years, Bradford Crown Court heard.

Judge James Stewart QC, sentencing, said the pair had "snuffed out the life of a hard-working, decent young man".

Charlton had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery charges but denied murder.

His co-accused had admitted robbery but denied murder.

The jury took more than five hours to reach their unanimous verdicts against the pair.
