\"Police-Killer-Dale-Cregan\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

A British man has been arrested on Spain’s Costa del Sol on suspicion of helping jailed Manchester police killer Dale Cregan.<\/h1>\n

Marvin Herbert was held on a European Arrest Warrant at a gym in Puerto Banus, near Marbella, by Spanish police.<\/p>\n

He is now awaiting extradition proceedings from Madrid to the UK.<\/p>\n

Herbert, 41, who was born in Liverpool, is wanted on suspicion of conspiracy to assist Cregan in the murders of father and son David and Mark Short.<\/p>\n

Cregan, 30, killed Mark Short in a Manchester pub on May 25 last year, but failed to kill his father, who was in the toilet.<\/p>\n

On August 10, 2012, Cregan, with fellow killer Anthony Wilkinson, shot David Short outside his house in Clayton.<\/p>\n

After killing the father and son, Cregan went on the run. He was hunted by the police for 39 days before killing two unarmed officers on September 18 last year.<\/p>\n

The one-eyed killer lured them to a house in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, with a hoax call. Within an hour he had gunned them down, then threw a grenade at the dying officers.<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/a><\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police paid tribute to WPCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, on the first anniversary of their deaths on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Two other men have also been charged with helping Cregan.<\/p>\n

Samuel Willbye, 28, from Hannet Road, Manchester, and Jack Willbye, 57, from Chapel Street, Herne Bay, are accused of conspiring to assist an offender.<\/p>\n

The pair have been remanded in custody to appear at Manchester Crown Court on September 25.<\/p>\n

Cregan was jailed for life at Preston Crown Court in June, and was told he would spend the rest of his life behind bars.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, he was moved to maximum-security Ashworth Hospital – where Moors Murderer Ian Brady is serving his sentence – from Strangeways jail in Manchester because of his behaviour.<\/p>\n

While in HMP Manchester, he was segregated from other prisoners for fear of reprisals. Reports suggest there is an underworld bounty of \u00a320,000 on his remaining eye.<\/p>\n

In protest, Cregan is said to have have started refusing food. He was put in the hospital wing at the jail before his transfer to Ashworth.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
