Judge Mark Bishop described Stephen Alderton's murder of Gary and Joshua Dunmore as an execution as he sentenced him to at least 25 years in prison
A widower who shot dead his daughter's ex-partner and her ex-partner's father over a family court case involving his grandson has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 25 years for their murders. Stephen Alderton, 67, had written in previous text messages that he would "override any court decision" and that there was "always a plan B", Cambridge Crown Court heard.
"We say it's clear that the events were triggered by an ongoing family court case between this defendant's daughter Samantha Stephen, nee Alderton, and her former partner Joshua Dunmore," he said. "This concerned a request to move their seven-year-old child from the jurisdiction of the court by emigrating to the USA."
"There was a hearing on March 27 2023 and it would appear wouldn't be removed from the jurisdiction," said Mr Gair. Adrian Langdale KC, mitigating for Alderton, said Alderton's wife died in December 2019. Mr Langdale said the defendant wrote in a letter: "I'm not the person that this conflict and the family courts have driven me to become. I've never been a violent person, I do not have a criminal record. I've been a respectable, law-abiding citizen all my life. What happened to me on March 29 I do not know."
