KILLER Jason Howells has been locked up for 12 years after being found guilty of manslaughter.

A jury at Chester Crown Court ruled earlier today that Howells stabbed drug dealer Fynn Western-Davey during a fight at the home Howells shared with Nicola Bishop. But they cleared him of murder on the grounds of provocation.

Miss Bishop was also accused of murder but was cleared of all charges last week.
