A KINGSWINFORD man was part of a drug dealing trio which included notorious Black Country murderer Stuart Millership.

Scott Hadley, aged 28, of Rowan Rise, appeared in court with Millership, aged 33, who is currently serving a minimum of 25 years in jail for killing Baljit Singh.

The pair, along with 28-year-old Jade Whitehouse of Hollybush Walk, Cradley Heath, all admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Hadley and Millership also pleaded guilty to a further charge of conspiring to supply cannabis with the offences taking place between January 2014 and January 2015.

At Wolverhampton Crown Court, Recorder John Edwards told Whitehouse and Hadley a pre-sentence report was necessary before the case could be finalised.

He remanded them both on bail until Wednesday November 25 for the report to be completed with Millership staying in custody until the sentencing hearing.

Millership who lived in Beeches Road, Rowley Regis, viciously battered and stabbed to death Mr Singh in July because he wanted to get his hands on his £15,000 Range Rover.

The 33-year-old struck Mr Singh up to twenty times with a blunt instrument before plunging a breadknife into his neck.

The body of the 50-year-old from Birmingham, who disappeared on his son’s ninth birthday, was later found hidden by bin bags in the terraced house Millership shared with his girlfriend.

He had denied the savage murder but was found guilty by a jury at the end of his trial, jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 25 years.
