40-year-old Youssef Wynne, leader of a drugs gang, and three accomplices were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 26-year-old Andy Foster in a "cruel and terrifying" ammonia attack in Wrekenton, Gateshead, in August 2023. Wynne must serve at least 33 years before parole consideration, with Kenneth Fawcett, John Wandless, and Josh Hawthorn receiving 32-, 31-, and 22-year tariffs, respectively. The gang's attacks were part of a campaign to control the drugs trade through violence and intimidation.
