A man who was ordered to pay compensation after an attack had so much resentment towards the victim that he punched him again 13 years later. Graham Thomas assaulted Alun Pritchard in 2008, but when he saw Mr Pritchard in a Holyhead club in 2021, he targeted him again, telling him: "It's about money."
Caernarfon Crown Court heard on January 10 that Mr Pritchard needed 12 stitches to a cut on his forehead for the most recent incident and still has a scar. A judge called it a "nasty" wound and Thomas only pleaded guilty to unlawful and malicious wounding shortly before his trial in November 2022. At his sentencing hearing, the 66-year-old was jailed for 10 months, North Wales Live reports.
Prosecutor Anna Price said the men's children had been in relationships with each other but there had been a falling out. In 2008, Thomas punched Mr Pritchard several times on the back of the head. Thomas was convicted of assault for that incident.
