Winwick: So, this guy Lloyd Broadhurst, 29, just got sentenced again. He was in Liverpool Crown Court recently for attacking his dad for the third time in two years. Can you believe it?
He was already on a suspended sentence from earlier this year when he threatened his dad with a knife. That incident happened back in January when he asked for money to buy booze. Things escalated quickly, and his dad ended up calling the cops.
Even after that, his dad was willing to let him back home, hoping he’d get some help. But just a couple of months later, Lloyd went and assaulted him again. It’s really sad to see this kind of cycle in families.
The judge finally had enough and gave him 32 weeks in jail, plus an extra four weeks for the latest attack. It’s a tough situation, and you can’t help but feel for both of them.
