Fly Tipping
James Munroe, self-employed courier driver, was convicted today of four socially unacceptable crimes. On the charge of smoking in an enclosed public space he was fined £1,000. On admitting that he exceeded the speed limit of 30mph in a built up area he was fined £60 and had his license endorsed by 3 penalty points.
He also pleaded guilty to dropping a chocolate wrapper on the High Street for which he was fined £50, and on the further offence of allowing his dog to foul the footpath he incurred a fine of £80.
A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service said that the less serious charge of murdering his wife and her mother had been dropped after Mr Munroe maintained they had died of natural causes. However, he went on to say charges of fly tipping were still being considered as a result of Mr Munroe leaving their bodies in a country lay-by.
