Man is punished for the second time for Wilden murder

A person who was found guilty for killing a woman twice, sentenced her for the second time in the appeal court.

Justin Plmar was jailed in 1998, when a jury found that he had attacked Janis Cartright-Gilbert at the construction site of his future house near Wilden, Bedfordshire, Bedfordshire last year.

38-year-old Ms. Cartright-Gilbert was stabbed with knives and scissors, before her body was set in a caravan next to the building site.

Mr. Plmar, who was 24 years old at the time of his death, convicted his first murder in 2021, but was again convicted after a retrick in the Ilsbury Crown Court in 2023 and sentenced to life with a minimum period of 16 years.

Mr. Plmar’s barrister challenged his second defect in the Court of Appeal earlier this month, claiming that the trial judge was wrong to allow a police informer Christopher Duna to allow the jury to submit evidence of hearing.

Dunne shared a cell with Mr. Plmar before his first sentence and claimed that he had confessed to the murder, but the first test did not use “SAIL Confession”, and Dune died in 1999.

In a judgment on Wednesday, three senior judges abandoned the second sentence of Shri Plmar, stating that Dun’s claims should “be withdrawn from the jury”.

Lord Justice Edis, sitting with Mrs. Justice McGowon and Judge Nigel Likle KC, said: “Dunna was a criminal and payment police informer, who was in the habit of passing information about the police about other criminals for his own benefits.”

He continued: “The circumstances of confession suggested for murder and the credibility of the informer are such as raising concerns about it.”

He said: “He did not give any details of the murder that could support its credibility.”

The review of criminal cases was convicted of his first murder after being sent to the court of the Review Commission of Criminal cases due to concerns on expert evidence.

Mr. Plmar had accepted the theft, but denied the murder and he had ever given an conflict.

At a hearing on 15 July, Katy Thorn Casey said that the evidence of Duna had “never accepted” and trial Judge “failed to consider properly” in evidence “underwritted” underlined unreliability “.

He also said that the records revealed that Duna was paid when he provided evidence to the police, but “no clarification given by anyone has been given by anyone” for what it was for.

Duna did not ask the police to talk about the alleged confession until August 1997, and gave a separate account in December.

Lord Justice Edes said that the accounts of Duna had “discrepancies and cases that could not be really correct”, which did not even provide “any account of murder”.

He said that after hearing the evidence, the jury clearly makes the failure to do “, and the judge’s failure in doing so clearly makes unsafe insecure”.

The Crown Prosecution Service, which opposed the appeal, said: “After considering the decision carefully, it is not possible for the prosecution to seek another rethink as the remaining evidence, without cell confession, without a realistic possibility of punishment.”
