Two men have been convicted of killing a Pizza Hut delivery driver in a botched robbery. Joel Lawson, 25, admitted throwing the punch and pleaded guilty to robbery and manslaughter. His friend Mark Lintott, 29, denied both charges but was found guilty of manslaughter and robbery following a seven-day trial at Peterborough crown court. Lawson, from Norwich, told the court a group of friends had been drinking lager and using cocaine at Lintott’s flat in Peterborough. Lintott phoned Pizza Hut and provided a false address in his street, hoping to snatch the pizzas without paying for them, the court heard.
