Thug who left nan trapped after smashing BMW into her bedroom is jailed

A thug has been jailed after deliberately crashing his car into a bungalow where an elderly woman was sleeping.

Michael Vose, 40, of Mount Pleasant Avenue, St Helens, crashed into Edna Kearns' bungalow in an attempt to commit suicide following a row with his girlfriend, Bolton Crown Court heard. Vose got behind the BMW's wheel after his girlfriend called the police regarding the row, which saw him attempt to throttle her before punching a hole in the wall and damaging a wardrobe mirror.

Vose told his girlfriend that he was going to kill himself before he took off in the car, driving over a mini-roundabout and later smashing through a fence and into the bungalow in Westhoughton, Bolton.
