A "prolific offender" went "off the rails" after finding out his son's killer could be released from prison. Paul Turner, 47, of Wardle Street, Haulgh, burgled a family home in Astley Bridge and attempted to burgle another house just feet away on January 6 last year.
He appeared before Magistrates on January 15 last year charged with burglary, attempted burglary and theft of a vehicle following offences in the early morning of January 6, 2021.
Before 2010, he had served time behind bars for offences, including burglary. Prosecuting, Thomas Sherrington told the court that on January 6 2021, Turner had broken into a family home on Queensbury Close, Astley Bridge and made off in the victim's car, a VW Polo.
The victim, who lived at the home with his wife and children, also had his kettle, and TV, which was still attached to a wall bracket, stolen, and was left "fearing for his family's safety" after the break-in, the court heard.
