Three men have each been jailed for 30 years having been found guilty of conspiring to kill a woman in Horsham in February.

Bruce Killick, Graham Martin, and Karl Cruise, were all found guilty after a five week trial at Hove Crown Court for planning to kill Bruce’s wife, Susan, on February 18 at their home in Brooks Green, near Horsham.

The three men were arrested in the days and weeks after Susan was horrifically attacked.

As the investigation progressed detectives found evidence to suggest Killick, who was having an affair had hired Cruise, through his work associate, Martin, to kill his wife.

Detective Inspector David Springett said he hoped that Mrs Killick would continue to recover and carry on with her life and put this ordeal behind her knowing her attackers have been brought to justice.
