THE VICTIMS
The victims, Gary Dunmore, 57, and Joshua Dunmore, 32, were found deceased at their respective properties in Sutton and Bluntisham on March 29, 2023.
Stephen Alderton, who does not have a fixed address, appeared in Cambridge Crown Court and pleaded guilty to two counts of murder.
During the court proceedings, Alderton showed no emotion as he confirmed his name and entered his pleas, while family members of the victims observed from the jury seats.
The presiding Judge Mark Bishop ordered that Alderton be remanded in custody and scheduled the sentencing for October 20.
Alderton denied an additional charge of possession of a firearm, specifically a double-barrelled shotgun, with the intent to cause fear of violence to another person.
The prosecutor stated that pursuing a trial on this count would not serve the public interest, and the judge agreed to file it.
