Here are faces of 13 offenders handed prison sentences at Northampton Crown Court during October 2022.
They include a 90-year-old registered sex offender jailed for sexual assault on a female under 13; a thug who cut the neck of a shop worker who tried to stop him stealing booze from Corby Morrison’s supermarket; and a pair who broke into the home of a man they knew had died just days earlier…

Intentional non-fatal strangulation became a crime in its own right on June 7 — on June 15, Vickers grabbed his partner around her neck as she tried to leave a property before kicking her. He pleaded guilty in August and was sentenced to 18 months last week.](https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjA0NWZmZmU3LTYyOGYtNDY1Ny04ZWRlLWNkNzE1ZDYxMTk1Zjo1YTdmNjdkYS0yMGZjLTQyNDgtYjYyZC1hNzI1MzYwODhlZjY=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
