Read our privacy policy An undercover TV researcher who spent 16 years wanted by police has been found guilty of the brutal torture and murder of a father-of-two at a cannabis farm. More claimed he had befriended drug dealer John Wilson one of three men already convicted of the murder, because he thought he could sell a story on him being a police informant to the media and he might lead him to a cannabis farm which he could film for a Dispatches documentary. More, who had done undercover TV work including with journalist Donal McIntyre, discovered where the cannabis farm was after following Mr Waters’ son Gavin, then 25. “They have remained very scared to this day because somebody’s been outstanding for the murder of their husband and father.” In a statement, the family of Mr Waters said: “What happened at Burnt House Farm on 19 June 2003 has had a significant and long-lasting effect on our family.
