A VIOLENT thug has been jailed for savagely beating an Irish grandad to death and pouring paint over him at the request of his vengeful girlfriend.
David Carney and Tracey Fielding were arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of Raymond Cullen was found at his home address in Bold Street, Fleetwood on October 10, 2019.
Mr Cullen, who was known locally as ‘Irish Ray’, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, having suffered a violent assault, including significant head injuries and bruising to his arms, legs and body.
Ray (55) was born and raised in Ireland but had lived in the UK for many years and was a popular figure in the Lancashire area.
