A man who fell behind on repaying a £300 debt was ambushed and beaten behind a shop by two thugs who decided to take matters into their own hands.
Simon Hendra and Barry McLean, reportedly unhappy about the unpaid money, lured the victim behind the Co-op in Launceston on December 14 last year and attacked him. Armed with a knuckle duster and a metal pole—though they didn’t end up using them—the pair reportedly resorted to their fists, repeatedly punching the man in the head and ribs, leaving him needing hospital treatment.
