Dad-of-six battered sister's partner in revenge attack after he stole medication from mum

An angry dad-of-six battered his sister's partner after he stole medication from his mum's home. Damian Jebb, 36, attacked Jason Barham in Birkenhead earlier this year after a long-running dispute came to a head, stemming from Mr Barham’s theft of the medication to fuel his own addiction.

Several family members and supporters watched as Jebb, from Tranmere, was locked up on July 8 at Liverpool Crown Court, with many shouting messages of support. Prosecutor, Louise McCloskey, said that the attack occurred after Mr Barham stole Tramadol from Jebb’s mum a number of times while visiting her home.

He told police that he battled an addiction to the medication and admitted taking them when he went round, Liverpool Echo reports.
