Men jailed after burglary of dead man's home

Two men in Lincoln were jailed for three and two years after burgling a house while the occupant had already died at home; both were arrested at the scene.
One climbed through an open window and passed a rucksack of items (including a jewellery box) to his accomplice; both admitted burglary offences.
The victim’s family condemned the theft as a “monstrous lack of common decency,” sparking public and social-media outrage.
