A man viciously strangled his twin sister and then climbed onto the roof of his mum's house in a bid to escape from police.
Kian Platten launched a violent rampage at his mother's home after calling her a 's**g' and threatening to slit her throat, a court heard. When police were called to the house, the 20-year-old was founding hiding in the loft covered in insulation material, Hull Live reports.
He threatened to stab an officer in the neck with a makeshift weapon before removing felt and tiles and scrambling out on to the roof. Platten hurled a tile at a policeman who had grabbed hold of his leg in a brave bid to stop him escaping, but the officer's foot fell through a bedroom ceiling.
