A dad who attacked a work colleague with a hammer after saying he would kill him has avoided jail.
Liverpool Crown Court heard then-colleagues Dean Simpkin and Christopher Littler went to the pub together on the evening of July 9, 2021. Nardeen Nemat, prosecuting. told the court that, when Mr Littler returned home, his partner told him she had received a message from Simpkin's partner accusing her of selling photographs of herself to another man.
At around 9pm, Mr Littler went to Simpkin's address on Bramhall Street, Warrington to confront him about the message. He was told by Simpkin's partner he was not home.
