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.

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development.

A brothel in the red light district of Amsterdam. In a bid to improve working conditions in the city’s sex industry, a brothel run by prostitutes themselves will be opened today by the mayor of Amsterdam. An initiative of the city council, the new brothel occupies 14 “windows” across four buildings on the so-called Wallen, Amsterdam’s red light district. About 40 sex workers will be able to operate out of the premises, which are being run by a foundation called My Red Light, in which prostitutes take an active part. “Everything in this project, from the statutes to the decoration of the rooms, is thought out by sex workers,” said one of the prostitutes involved, who asked to remain anonymous. “It is my hope that My Red Light will offer pleasant workspaces, where sex workers can be who they are and feel welcome.” Prostitution has been legal in the Netherlands since 2000. Owners of sex businesses must obtain a licence and adhere to municipal rules, while prostitution is a ...
