Mum and daughter foiled by Argos purchase while keeping murderer hidden – Nottinghamshire Live Skip to main content A mother and daughter who harboured a murderer for five weeks in their home following a brutal and fatal stabbing in Nottingham city centre have both been jailed. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Julie and Elisha Faulkner concealed Malcolm Francis after he and others carried out the ”revenge” killing of 33-year-old dad-of-one Ricardo Cotteral in the Lace Market. While the duo hid the then-29-year-old at their Birmingham address, his heavily pregnant ex-partner Kimberley Thompson bought and used a cover to hide his car on her Beeston driveway before he fled the East Midlands in a bid to escape both the country and justice. But while he and his younger brother Daniel Francis failed to board a flight to Jamaica from Gatwick Airport, his new partner – Elisha Faulkner – drove to South London to collect him.
