Mum beaten 'black and blue' by own son after she offered to make him breakfast

A man dragged his mum from her bed and smashed her head against a wall in a brutal attack in their home.

Daniel Colebourne left Margaret Colebourne “black and blue” after a vicious assault in their home earlier this year. The 27-year-old’s actions were so serious a judge didn’t just jail him but barred him from contacting her after she told prosecutors she never wanted to see him again.

Colebourne’s mum told police she “felt like she was walking on eggshells” while he was in their home in Bootle. On the morning of April 4 this year he became angry for no apparent reason when she offered him some breakfast, grabbing the fridge in the kitchen and pulling it so violently the door came off.
