Barry Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can see a brief version of the story here but it is very brief. Does anyone have better access to the full story that they can post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calamity507 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Its actually a wide beam..correct name Lady Jayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmelly Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 More here. Sounds like he may be ex military or something. the problem we have nowadays is the ludicrous sentences judges hand out. 7 years is realy only 3 and a half and this must have been terrifying for the family and could have ended in tragedy. Scum like this need 20 years upwards not 3 and a half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamity507 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 As we heard it from the fisherman concerned..they had politely asked him to lower his speed..as the wash had soaked them as they sat fishing. He took exception..went back to his boat. The grandchildren had been frightened by his behaviour so the family packed up and left..they werent even canalside when the guy returned..he followed them to the layby where their car was.

Athy Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Does anyone on here know him? As the canal community is quite tightly-knit, it's possible that some of us have met him. Did he show any previous signs of odd behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziq Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I am glad the court made an example of him - OK 7 years sentence is not really long enough and he will probably leave prison early for "good behaviour" unfortunately. I know the fisherman concerned and even now how worried he is about fishing in the same area just in case that kind of thing happened again. Hopefully the narrowboat Lady Jayne will be sold and he won't be able to return to "the cut". I had moored up near his boat at Bugbrooke late last year not realising that this alteracation had happened, but I must admit that I had not seen any incidence of him doing anything cruel to his dogs. Being an avid dog lover myself, I would have been one of the first people to have reported him to the authorities if I had witnessed anything untoward there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Davis Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sounds like he may be ex military or something. Why? Most ex-srevices I know have far more respect for firearms that shown by this person. They know they can kill!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Why? Most ex-srevices I know have far more respect for firearms that shown by this person. They know they can kill!! I think it alludes to something said by the judge in the newspaper report, along the lines if "You of all people shouild know about firearms".

Arthur Brown Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 If his car and his wife's car have both been singled out for vandalism then this was likely a two way vandalism relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
