Cases

R V Scott Hunt & 5 Others (junior alone)

Murder case involving the dismemberment and burial of the deceased and a subsequent conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Angus’ client was acquitted by the jury on one count and the Judge acceded to a submission of no case on a second.

R V Vitautas Jokubauskas

Led by David Howker QC in a murder case involving the brutal killing and dismemberment of the deceased and the subsequent disposal of body parts around Peterborough.

R V Peter Barnett

Dubbed ‘one of Britain’s biggest fare evaders’, Angus successfully argued at a Newton hearing that his client should be sentenced on a much reduced loss figure, thus ensuring that immediate imprisonment was avoided.
