A company boss caught on his own dash-cam deliberately driving his work van at a woman he believed had assaulted his partner has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years
.
The incident, which took place at around 3pm on July 16, 2021, was said to have been have been sparked by a disturbance in a ScotMid store the night before, in which it was claimed that Walker's partner had been struck in the face by Miss Webster with an Irn-Bru bottle, fracturing and cutting her nose.
Walker was heard saying "B*****ds!" as he approached. Alan Parfery, prosecuting, said the van, which was travelling at 25-30mph, had "targeted" the victims. They were unaware of it doing so, however, until "a split second " before it hit. On it, he told his friend, "Aye, I just ran them over - him and his f****** bird. He was talking to two other people, so don't say that to anybody. I skelped her - he ran out the way and I skelped her. I need to go and rid of the van. I think I have a f****** burst tyre."
Mr Brown needed treatment for a minor wound to his wrist. Police probing the hit and run discovered the van was linked to a logistics firm that Walker worked for at the time. He was found to be the only person who had access to the vehicle that day.
