A thug dragged a homeless man along the street as he clung to his car before hitting him with his vehicle less than two weeks later.
Kevin Bartley thankfully only left his victim with grazes and bruising after the first incident. But the 37-year-old then hunted him down and threatened to kill him only days later.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Friday, that Mark Wilson was sitting on a bed outside the church where he was sleeping rough on King Street in St Helens town centre with his partner Helen Gray on May 17 last year when the defendant arrived at the scene in a Ford Fiesta. Kenneth Grant, prosecuting, described how the parties had known each other for around two years, having met while residing at the YMCA.
