A murderer, paedophiles and violent attackers are among the criminals who were taken off our streets last month. Three women and 15 men were jailed in Sussex in September. Among those put behind bars were a woman who stabbed a man and poured bleach over his face and a male rapist who sexually abused a child for years.
Both have been given lengthy sentences.

He was arrested and keys to a house, rented out on a short-term basis, fell out of his pocket.
Officers then searched the property where Musa Massaquoi was found. Massaquoi, now aged 21, formerly of Armfield Crescent, Mitcham, at first tried to stop officers getting inside during the incident in November 2022. Inside the address officers found heroin and crack cocaine worth £1,500 as well as £6,500 in cash.
Massaquoi’s DNA was found on the wraps of the Class A drugs. At Lewes Crown Court on September 2, Massaquoi and Cotter were both jailed for two years and seven months. Mark Coleman Mark Coleman had been to the pub hours before causing the death of a teenage passenger who was crushed by the car he was driving.
Leonie Jones,18, became trapped underneath the car after she was ejected from a faulty passenger door as Coleman reversed and turned at spee.
