A son who battered his abusive father with a hammer in a bid to stop him from attacking his mother has been jailed for six years.

Benjamin Wilson, 22 had grabbed the heavy weapon and raced upstairs after hearing crashing, shouting and commotion coming from his parents' bedroom. An attack which left his dad with brain damage and holes in his head and face.

According to The Gazette, Wilson attacked his father Craig, 46, who was described in court as a “Jekyll and Hyde”, and had served a two-year sentence for assaulting his wife. Mr Wilson Snr drank heavily and was being verbally abusive and making threats at a family party at the parents’ Norton home.

 So when the son heard crashing, shouting and commotion from the bedroom, he armed himself with a heavy lump hammer from his tool bag. He hit his father at least five times to the head and face with the weapon then left the house on Blackett Avenue.

He later handed himself in at the police station and told officers he thought he had killed his father, said prosecutor Paul Cleasby.

Paramedics found the severely injured victim on his bed, conscious but not alert with “multiple holes in his head and face”. Craig had fractures to the jaw, cheekbone, eye sockets, forehead and nose, and a bleed on the brain and had to be put into an artificial coma and on a ventilator to undergo a tracheotomy. He was in hospital for more than a month where he was fed through a tube. He lost six teeth and was left with permanent scarring and deformity.

Teesside Crown Court heard how the young man could have been locked up for 12 years or more for the assault, Instead he was given a reduced sentence after the judge considered provocation by the victim - who was described as a “violent nasty drunk”.
