Overview
- Manchester Crown Court sentenced Jemma Marshall to four and a half years and Jason Wadsworth to eight and a half years for the manslaughter of Martin Shaw.
- The judge designated Wadsworth a dangerous offender in light of his 2017 manslaughter conviction, adding a two‑year extended licence to his sentence.
- On 10 September 2023, Shaw was picked up on Ashton Road in Oldham and assaulted in Marshall’s Audi during a roughly 20‑minute drive to enforce a drug debt.
- He sustained multiple rib fractures and a ruptured spleen, did not immediately go to hospital, and died nearly eight weeks later from his injuries.
- Police and prosecutors said Marshall and Wadsworth exploited a vulnerable man and used severe force to demand money, welcoming the manslaughter convictions.
