Two men have been found guilty of helping triple killer Joanna Dennehy during her 12-day spree of violence.

Dennehy, 31, murdered three men in Cambridgeshire and tried to kill two others in Herefordshire last year.

At Cambridge Crown Court, Gary Stretch, 47, was found guilty of one count of attempted murder and three counts of preventing the lawful burial of a body.

Leslie Layton, 36, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice. The jury is yet to return some verdicts.

The attempted murder conviction for Stretch, of Riseholme, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, relates to Dennehy's attack on John Rogers in Hereford on 2 April.

The jury of eight men and four women is still deliberating a further count of attempted murder against Stretch and two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body against Layton, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay.

Dennehy, of Orton Goldhay in Peterborough, has admitted murdering Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, Kevin Lee, 48, and John Chapman, 56, in March last year.

The men's bodies were all found in ditches in Cambridgeshire in March and April.
