NOTORIOUS Hull brothers Darren Wilson and Dean Armstrong have been jailed for a total of 20 years after a murder plot trial.
Loan shark Wilson was sentenced to four years for plotting to kill Andrew Burr, 37, the husband of a woman he'd had a one-night stand with.
He was jailed for a further eight years for conspiracy to commit arson and received a four-year concurrent sentence for cultivating cannabis, meaning his total sentence is 12 years.
Armstrong was jailed for seven years for his role in the arson plot, in which a house in Grove Street, Hull, was petrol bombed twice.
The brothers organised the arson to force the tenant Donna Nagi to move so they could use it to grown cannabis.
Armstrong was also jailed for one year for cultivating cannabis, on top of his seven-year sentence.
Mikhail Ward, who was going to be paid £10,000 by Wilson to murder Mr Burr, got two years for his part in the murder plot.
He also got 18 months for cannabis cultivation which will run consecutively to his two year sentence.
Michael Reid, who grew cannabis for the brothers, got 18 months while Jackson Nagee got 21 months for the same charge.
His Honour Judge Mettyear said of the brothers' criminal empire: "The two of you operated as though you were underworld gangsters. You were jointly involved and jointly responsible."
