'They were going after the victims with a loaded shotgun bent on bloody revenge'
A father, his son and cousin have been jailed for a revenge shooting in Leeds that left two victims with horrific, life-changing injuries.
Phone records showed McDermott alerted Richard Bathie, who arrived at the scene with his son Joshua Bathie. CCTV footage showed the three were in a state “beyond fury” and CCTV from the Bathie family farm in Woodhouse Lane, East Ardsley, showed the three arming themselves with a shotgun and other weapons. They then set off in a JCB tractor and a Mercedes pick-up truck for the Price family’s home at a caravan park in Dunningley Lane, Tingley.At about 6.
The Bathies and McDermott then drove back to their farm in Woodhouse Lane where Edward Senior helped them to conceal the shotgun amid a huge stack of wrapped bales of hay. The weapon was later recovered by police after a four-day search. Following a trial at Leeds Crown Court, which concluded in March, McDermott was found guilty of both counts of attempted murder, and the Bathies were each convicted of two counts of wounding with intent. All three were found guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Vanessa Rolfe said: “This was a truly shocking incident where a legally-held firearm was used with potentially murderous consequences in a premeditated attack fuelled by rage and the thirst for revenge.
