A thug who repeatedly stamped on a love rival’s head after he caught him in bed with his ex, cried after a judge freed him on a suspended sentence.

Devon Wainright had been held on remand since January after the violent attack in which he stamped on the man’s head up to 20 times and threatened to kill him. The 24-year-old fence worker began to sob when Judge Tom Bayliss KC, sitting at Leeds Crown Court, told him he would suspend his 24-month jail sentence for 24 months. Wainright thanked the judge several times and told him he had “learned his lesson”.

Wainright shouted at him: “If you see her again I’ll kill you.” The woman tried to call the police but Wainright grabbed her by the neck and pinned her down. He also grabbed her phone and threw it out of the window. The police were called and they arrested Wainright after finding him hidden under a bed. He gave a no-comment interview at the station. Wainright, of Green Lane, Featherstone, admitted ABH, assault, arson with an intent to damage property and two counts of criminal damage.
