Body in Bin After Overdose and Arson | Liverpool News
Description
A father of five, Paul Smith, died from a drug overdose in a bath — his body hidden for two days before being found in a wheelie bin. His death followed a deadly arson attack he orchestrated as revenge, which killed an elderly couple. Though police initially investigated murder, the coroner couldn’t confirm foul play due to overwhelming drugs in his system. Now, 61-year-old Steven Wales, who pleaded guilty to preventing Smith’s lawful burial, faces sentencing on August 18th — with jail time still on the table. He walked out of court saying only, “Have a good day.”
