Two people have been given life sentences for murdering a man inside the home they shared in Nelson.
Following a three-week trial at Preston Crown Court, Laimonas Prascevicius and Rimantas Vystartas were today found guilty of murdering 53-year-old Andrej Minin. Lancashire Police officers were called by the North West Ambulance Service around 5.20am on November 5, 2023, to a report that Andrej had been found dead at the bottom of the stairs of a property in Fir Street. A Home Office post-mortem examination found that Andrej died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head and neck.
The distribution of blood belonging to Andrej found on the trousers of Prascevicius and Vystartas showed that they were responsible for the fatal assault. Prascevicius and Vystartas denied any responsibility or involvement in Andrej’s death. However, their denials were rejected by the jury. Prascevicius, 54, of Ball Street, Nelson, and Vystartas, 54, of Rigby Street, Nelson, were both sentenced to life imprisonment.
