A Huddersfield man who brought horror to a family home has been jailed for life for double murder.
Marcus Osborne (35) of Harpe Inge Dalton was sentenced to a whole life term at Leeds Crown Court on March 1 after admitting the murder of Katie Higton (27) and Steven Harnett (25) at a property on Harpe Inge on Monday May 15 2023.
Leeds Crown Court heard that Osborne had gone to the house at Harpe Inge, which he had shared with Katie, at just after midnight on May 15 and threatened a woman inside.
He waited for Katie to come home and after she did so, attacked her with the knife causing fatal injuries. Osborne then used Katie’s phone to contact Steven Harnett and sent him messages pretending to be her, luring Steven to the address.
