Three more men have admitted to taking part in rioting outside of a hotel housing asylum in Manvers, Rotherham last year.

John Webster, 41, of Hague Avenue, Rawmarsh admitted to violent disorder and will be sentenced before Sheffield Crown Court on January 16.

Mason Lowe, 27, of Lowfield Road, Bolton-upon-Dearne, pleaded guilty to violent disorder as well as arson with intent to endanger life.

He will face sentencing on January 25.

Morgan Heeley, 25, of Margaret Road, Darfield, Barnsley, will be sentenced on February 11 after admitting violence disorder.

More than 60 police officers were injured during the disorder last August, which came in the wake of the stabbings of three young girls in Southport.
