Failsworth man among four sentenced following Piccadilly Gardens disorder

Four men - including one from Failsworth - have sentenced to total of 10 years and five months for their roles in recent disorder at Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre.

They received custodial sentences at Manchester Crown Court on Friday (August 16).

They all pleaded guilty to violent disorder at previous hearings.

The four men were sentenced for their part in an outbreak of disorder which took place at Piccadilly Gardens on Saturday, August 3.

Anthony Livesey (aged 31) of Moorfield Avenue, Denton, has been sentenced to three years and two months.

Colin Demulder (36) of Altrincham Road, Manchester, has been sentenced to two years and eight months.

Kane Kelly (24) of Woodford Road in Failsworth, has been sentenced to two years and five months.

Daniel Hanslip (33) of Central Avenue, Shipley, Bradford, has been sentenced to two years and two months.

Commenting on the results, Detective Inspector Andrew Naismith said: “We’re continuing to bring people to justice and so far across several operations has led to 108 suspects being identified, with 82 of those being charged and as the days pass more will start to be convicted for their actions.

“We are still maintaining patrols in key areas to ensure we can respond quickly to any ongoing disorder that may arise and would like to thank the public for their continued support and co-operation as we conduct further enquiries.

“I would like to thank the public for their support on our appeals – we have been able to take action on the back of your help.

“If you were involved in violent disorder expect a knock on the door if you haven’t already.

"Justice will be served against those who took part in mindless acts of violence across Greater Manchester.

“These sentences serve as a reminder that such behaviour will not be tolerated in our communities.”

Officers are still seeking the public’s help in identifying suspects related to disorder across Greater Manchester.
