AN axe-wielding thug who disguised himself before launching an attack on a friend he believed was having an affair with his girlfriend has been jailed for five years and 10 months.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that 30-year-old John McCann was identified by his voice when he shouted at his victim Ryan Mailley: “You went with my missus.”
McCann put on a balaclava before forcing his way into the flat, where he knew Mailley was staying, armed with the axe.
McCann pled guilty to assaulting Mr Mailley by striking him on his arm and neck with the axe at a flat in Merkins Avenue, Dumbarton, on June 15, 2016.
