A woman tried to hire a hitman on the dark web to kill her colleague at a Sports Direct store after they both started a relationship with their manager, a court heard yesterday.
Whitney Franks, 26, was dating James Perst and became “insanely jealous” when Root Rootna joined the shop and started an affair with him too. Prest, general manager of the store in Milton Keynes, already had a long-term partner with whom he had two young children.
Reading Crown Court was told that Franks decided to request Ruutna’s murder and scoured the dark web in the hope of hiring a hitman using cryptocurrency. However, her ad, which included the home address and personal details of her love rival, was spotted by BBC investigator Carl Miller
