Several criminals were brought to justice in Sheffield this week amid a number of shocking breaking news incidents.

Amid several offenders being jailed for life for murder, the Steel City sadly saw a man die as a result of a stabbing last week, while a number of high profile court cases made progress.

Police also asked for the public’s help for information several breaking incidents, including a shocking ‘carjacking’ and a serious assault.

Here are the biggest crime stories from the past week.

Stacy Brooks and her father Mark Brooks, who covered her in petrol and tried to set her alight - after she turned to him for help during a bad break-up. Stacy, 31, and her dad, Mark, 61, had only just reconnected after 20 years of estrangement when the attack took place. Mark Brooks was jailed for more than nine years.
