    Gangster Charlie Kray's grandson and former son-in-law have been jailed for life for torturing, killing and beheading a man who they
    claimed had stolen drugs belonging to them.
    Norman Jones and his son Joseph hacked off John Finney's hands and slashed his body, then cut off his head.
    They acted after a consignment of drugs went missing from one of their vehicles at a farm where the father-of-four lived in a caravan.

    Sadistic: Kray's grandson, Norman Jones and his son Joseph, right, tortured their victim before killing him
    Mr Finney was issued with death threats by Jones, 50, a millionaire from Highgate, North London, and his 24-year-old son, from Barnet.
    Mr Finney started receiving anonymous calls demanding the 'gear' and warning 'a lump of lead would be put in him' and he could end
    up 'in a box'.
    In a campaign to intimidate the 42-year-old scrap metal dealer, the pair then fired shots near his home in Northaw, Hertfordshire, on 1
    February last year, St Albans crown court heard.

    Murdered: John Finney was attacked because the Joneses claimed he had stolen a consignment of their drugs
    Finally, after staging a dry run of the murder plot, they kidnapped Mr Finney and drove him 30 miles at gunpoint in a van to a business
    unit in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, where he was interrogated, tortured and killed.
    He is believed to have died from a shot to the head.
    The pair then set fire to the van in an attempt to get rid of the evidence.
    Mr Finney's naked body was found two weeks later behind a garage block. His head and his hands were never found.
    Although the father and son had the industrial unit cleaned twice, spots of Mr Finney's blood were found on a wall.
    Keys to Mr Finney's truck were found in the torched van.

    Joseph Jones, who wept as he was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison, claimed he was playing poker on the night Mr Finney
    was killed.
    His father, who was jailed for a minimum of 33 years, said he had never met the victim. He claims he made his 7million fortune from
    horse racing and property.
    Judge Mr Justice MacDuff told them: 'You are both evil men. You lack any semblance of humanity.'
    Two other men also on trial for Mr Finney's murder were cleared.
    In a statement, Mr Finney's family said: 'The past year has been so very hard for us as a family.
    'We have had to try to understand why a loving son and father was taken from us in such a brutal way. We have had to come to terms
    with this immense loss in our lives.'

    Infamous family: Norman Jones's father-in-law Charlie Kray, centre, with twins Reggie, left, and Ronnie in the East End in 1965
    Detective Chief Inspector Bill Jephson, who led the investigation, said: 'John was the victim of a calculated and pre-planned savage
    attack.
    'We will never fully understand the motive for such brutality and only those individuals responsible for John's death will know exactly
    what happened to him.'
    Charlie Kray was the elder brother of gangster twins Ronnie and Reggie.
    He was seen as the quieter one of the trio who brought terror to London in the Sixties. He died aged 73 while serving a 12-year
    sentence for his part in a drugs plot.
