TWO murderers have been sentenced for their part in setting up a cannabis factory.

Chinese national Zhang Zhouli, 49, who is currently serving a life sentence for killing Chen Cai Guan, was sentenced to four years and six months for conspiracy to produce cannabis.

Huang Boa Lung, 44, who is also serving a life sentence for the same murder, was sentenced to seven years for conspiracy to produce cannabis.

As reported in The Press, the cannabis was found growing at a specially converted warehouse in Elvington.

Both sentences will run concurrent to the men’s life sentences.
