In a shocking revelation, Gavin Plumb, a 35-stone security guard, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 15 years for his heinous plot involving Holly Willoughby.
His chilling scheme aimed to kidnap, rape, and ultimately murder the former This Morning presenter and her husband, Dan Baldwin, at their London residence under the cover of darkness.
Plumb’s plan involved using chloroform to incapacitate the couple, then holding Holly captive in what he described as a ‘death row’ style dungeon.
His intentions included repeated acts of sexual assault followed by the brutal murder of the TV star.
During sentencing, the judge emphasized the severity of Plumb’s offenses, describing them as particularly brutal and degrading.
Despite the unlikelihood of success due to his physical condition, the judge noted the catastrophic impact such crimes have on victims and society at large.
