A mum and son who attacked their neighbours with hammers amid a row over money have avoided jail. Carol Avery, 50, and Jamie Deans, 19, turned on Patricia Wilson, 39, and Mark Nicholson, 37, at their flat in Glasgow's Broomhill on January 11, 2022.
Avery struck Miss Wilson on the head and body where she suffered cuts and bruises. Deans hit Mr Nicholson as he tried to help Miss Wilson. They later threatened to murder another neighbour while armed with wrenches due to an argument over a PlayStation which was not returned to Deans.
Avery and Deans pled guilty to the assaults as well as behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
They also admitted possession of the weapons without a reasonable excuse or lawful authority. Avery was put under supervision for 12 months and tagged for seven months keeping her indoors between 9.30pm and 6am.
