The devastated mother of a man brutally beaten to death during a family feud said his killer 'should rot in prison'.
The emotional words of Sheila Harbridge were read to Leeds Crown Court today before Andrew Weston was jailed for the manslaughter of her son, Ian Aspinall. Mr Aspinall, 50, was savagely attacked by Weston in Kirkstall last summer and punched more than 20 times to the head and face. He suffered a fatal bleed to the brain and his life-support machine had to be switched off the next day. The heart-breaking victim impact statement of Mrs Harbridge was read to the court by prosecutor Tom Storey KC.

Mr Aspinall was the uncle of Weston's partner. After arguing over the phone, Mr Aspinall went to Weston's home on Sandford Road on the morning of June 21 to 'sort him out'. It was alleged by Weston that Mr Aspinall punched him when he opened the door and began to walk away.
