Drug dealer is jailed for 18 years after a woman, 25, fell to her death fleeing his machete threats

Mrs Justice Tipples told Jaiden Hassan-Agard, 20, he grew 'excited' by the terror he caused and did nothing to help Tia Langdon as she lay fatally hurt. He accused Tia and Shannon McNeil of stealing drugs at a Cuckmere Lane flat in Southampton. He stabbed furniture with two machetes, broke Tia's nose and spoke of waterboarding. She went over a third-floor balcony and died the next day.

He was also convicted of kidnapping and falsely imprisoning Shannon McNeil.

The judge said he poses 'a significant risk to the public of serious harm'.

He had been assessed as a modern slavery victim, dealing drugs from age 11.
