A mum was left horrified when she woke up to find that a bloodied stranger had stayed the night in her young son's bed. The nurse had gotten up to get her kids ready for school and was met with an intoxicated intruder covered in blood on the landing.
Laurence Carthy had broken into the house the night before as he planned to rob items including game consoles from the family but had failed to complete the task before he passed out drunk. Rebecca Redmond had woken up in her home in Rock Ferry, Wirral on May 22 last year at around 8am and had gone to get her children out of bed, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
During the trial on December 23, Prosecutor Arthur Gibson told the court that Rebecca had gone to run a bath but after she exited the room she discovered the 32-year-old leaving her son's bedroom. Luckily, the youngster had been under the weather the night before and slept with his mum instead.
