Four years for man who attacked neighbour with hatchet

A former heroin addict who attacked his neighbour with a hatchet because the music at his daughter’s confirmation celebration party was too loud has been given a four year sentence.

Christopher Hill (aged 43) of Oak Green, Royal Oak, Santry, had earlier called Mr Paul Brierton’s wife and other partygoers "scumbags and cunts" and threatened to burn the victim’s house down "with your kids in it".
