Thugs broke almost every bone in grandma’s face over son’s drug debt
A man has been found guilty of beating a wheelchair-bound grandmother so badly it almost broke every bone in her face.
Stephen Mortin, 23, hit Barbara Dransfield up to nine times with a baseball bat because her son owed him £100 for drugs money.
In reply, Judge Stuart Driver QC said to Mortin: ‘You are shaking your head but I’m nodding mine. You are going to prison for a very long time. I have grave concerns for you, you should fear the worst in custody.’Mortin, from Hyde, shook his head in Minshull Street crown court in Manchester as he was found guilty guilty of conspiracy to commit robbery and inflicting GBH.
Mrs Dransfield suffered a fractured skull and several facial fractures and bruising after she was hit repeatedly during a gang raid.
The attack left the grandmother on life support and in a coma for two weeks.
Liam O’Shaughnessy, 29, who was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, was found not guilty and left the dock looking relieved.
In the build up to the assault last July, the grandmother’s son Daniel received a text saying: ‘Answer your phone, stop making it worse for yourself. You’re going to get yourself hurt badly. You have crossed the wrong guy.’
Another read ‘I will have the last laugh’ and then four days before the assault one read: ‘my guys off to your mam’s now’.
The court heard how Mrs Dransfield, who has a prosthetic leg, was woken up by a ‘terrific bang’ in the early hours of the morning and was confronted as she wheeled herself out of the bedroom to see what was going on.
The two men were wearing dark clothing and masks covering their faces and one was armed with a knife, the other with a baseball bat.
The retired barmaid, from Ashton-under-Lyne, was beaten and told to hand over money by one of the men whilst the other ransacked the house.
In an interview with police she said: ‘That’s all they wanted, money, money, money.
‘I kept saying I’ve got none.’
The two men eventually made off with fishing tackle belonging to the victim’s husband, Leonard, and tins containing a small amount of money.

Rob's spoken with all of his sisters and his mom, telling them he has no excuse for posting nude pics of Chyna and her medical information on social media. He said he regrets he didn't deal with the Chyna drama privately and said it wouldn't happen again. One thing Rob did not apologize for, he flatly denied he ever physically abused Chyna.
