Chelsea Mighall called in Rory Pearson after a road rage incident, with her boyfriend hacking Peter Hamlet's arm 'to the bone' with the weapon after a car chase.
A mum cried in court as she was jailed alongside her boyfriend for a car chase which led to a man being brutally hacked at with a machete. Chelsea Mighall called in her partner, Rory Pearson, after a bout of road rage in Bidston, Wirral, on June 15.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that Ms Winstanley aimed a blow at Mighall after this, at which point Mr Hamlet exited the car and pulled his partner away. The two cars then drove off, but Mighall repeatedly blocked the Vauxhall with her vehicle before pursuing the car for several miles, despite Ms Winstanley's attempts to "shake her off".
Pearson, 33, blocked their exit and exited his vehicle armed with a "sizeable machete". Dashcam footage showed him swinging the blade as he chased Mr Hamlet down the road. Top UK & World stories today Lawyers for the couple, who each have previous convictions, said neither of them were aware of their victim's young daughter's presence in the car during the incident. David Birrell said Pearson had been working as a wing cleaner since being remanded into custody. Paul Wood told how Mighall had found her prison remand experience "absolutely horrific".
Sentencing, Judge Gary Woodhall told the mum-of-two: "It was sustained, bullying driving. It was undoubtedly intimidating and frightening. You were summoning your partner to the scene and trying to ensure that the other vehicle did not get away so that he could intercept and deal with the occupants. I am satisfied that you anticipated that violence would be used.
