A RELATIVE of Carlisle murder gang members Carol and Coral Edgar committed drugs supply crimes which came to light after she was arrested during the police probe into Lee McKnight’s killing. Janice Edgar, now 41, was detained on the evening July 24, 2020 by officers who also arrested her sister Carol, niece Coral and murder plot leader Jamie Davison. Hours earlier Mr McKnight’s badly-beaten body was found in the River Caldew. He was subjected to brutal violence inside a city house before being transported across the city and dumped in the water while barely alive. Last week, Coral Edgar, Carol Edgar, Davison and three other men were convicted of murdering Mr McKnight. They await sentence.

Nuisance: The defendant made 15 nuisance 999 calls, the court heard A WORKINGTON man afflicted by “drug-induced” paranoia made more than a dozen 999 calls to police so he could report how non-existent people were trying to get into his home. Carl Anson, 63, genuinely believed that there were people trying to invade his Jackson Road home in Salterbeck to attack him, his barrister, Brendan Burke, told Carlisle Crown Court. Despite that mitigation, the defendant admitted an offence of persistently using the telephone network to cause annoyance. Anson also pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine, committing an offence while under the terms of a suspended sentence, and drug driving on an occasion when he was six-times the legal limit for the class-A drug.
