More than 400 people now charged as riot sentencing continues

More than 400 people have now been charged in connection with the recent disorder, with 64 people sent to jail.

Among those handed prison sentences today, a man who joined a mob storming a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham, a man who live-streamed himself shouting racial slurs during riots in Sunderland, and a 53-year-old Cheshire woman who wrote a Facebook post calling for a mosque to be blown up ‘with the adults in it’.
