Four years for thief who terrorised his victims

A thief who pushed his way into the homes of vulnerable people in his locality to steal from them has been given a four year sentence for terrorising a mother of two and a 74-year-old man.

David Murray (aged 26) grabbed the tubing of a breathing apparatus running from the elderly man's nose to an oxygen tank and wrapped it around his neck. When the victim tried to scream, he pushed him to the ground and the old man suffered a fractured elbow.
