A 20-year-old armed robber who killed a pregnant woman and critically injured her husband in an attack in May last year is to spend the next 100 years in jail. The robber, Muhammad Musah, aka Red Bone, was arrested in August last year and he pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to rob and robbing at gunpoint.
