A drug addict son who subjected his mum to a 20-year campaign of terror has been jailed.
Christopher Swaine, 40, was said by mum Francesca Swaine to have been 'lovely' but after he started taking drugs in his teens he repeatedly menaced and hounded her for cash to feed to his habit.
The construction worker was arrested after he turned up at his former family home in Wythenshawe, held a TV above his head and threatened to hurl it at 65-year-old Mrs Swaine unless she gave him money.
