A thug driver on a revenge mission deliberately mowed down a couple in a murder bid then sped off to cover up his crimes.
Barry Walker, 35, drove his Mercedes van at Samantha Webster and Gerald Brown when he spotted them chatting to two friends in the street. He then boasted to a pal about hitting them with his vehicle – being more concerned about a burst tyre – and then dumped it at a nearby supermarket.
Samantha, 36, who has been left scarred for life with serious leg injuries, told the Sunday Mail: “I don’t know who he was aiming for. I don’t know if it was me or Gerry or any of the others. It could have been any of us. He tried to kill us that day.”
