It all happens in MK.
'Jealous' woman, 26, 'tried to hire hitman using dark web to murder her colleague at Sports Direct store after they both started having an affair with their general manager.
'A 26-year-old woman allegedly tried to hire a hitman on the dark web to kill her work colleague when she discovered they were both having an affair with their Sports Direct store manager, a father of two with a long-term partner.
Whitney Franks, who was described in court as 'rampantly jealous', is accused of trying to hire an online assassin after posting an ad on the dark web offering £1,000 'or more' for the hit.
Prosecutor Andrew Copeland told the court that the ad read: ‘I’m looking for the murder of a woman.
I have £1,000 and I am willing to pay more.
This woman has caused a lot of problems for myself and others.
Please can you help sort this out.’
Posted alongside the ad was the address, Facebook profile and description of her work colleague Ruut Ruutna.
The court was told that Ruutna was Franks' work colleague who joined the Milton Keynes store and began an affair with general manager James Prest,
with the two women competing for his attention.
