Hensley Wiltshire

Hensley Wiltshire was stabbed during an argument at a flat in Conduit Street, Gloucester, and later died in police custody on 6 January 1989.

Two drug dealers were convicted for his murder at Bristol Crown Court in January 1990 but later had their convictions quashed in June 2003. They had both been jailed on 10-year minimum tariffs, but because they had refused to admit their guilt they had not been let out after ten years passed. It was said that they beat Hensley Wiltshire, a rival drug dealer, with a crow bar and stabbed him with a knife, resulting in his death.
