Derek Wellington screamed at his girlfriend that he would 'park my lorry in your living room'.

A trucker has admitted deliberately ramming his HGV into his girlfriend's home while two children were inside.

The 34-year-old was on bail at the time after a previous incident where he attacked girlfriend Sara Cassidy at a hotel in Edinburgh. But, despite the court order, the couple resumed contact and he repeatedly called her on the day of the lorry rage incident on 6 September last year. Prosecutor Lisa Gillespie QC told the court: "She told him under no circumstances was he to come to the house because there were children there.The lorry was discovered in a supermarket car park the next morning, damaged and with bricks from the house nearbyMs Cassidy tried to calm Wellington by agreeing to meet him on the street nearby but panicked when she saw him in his truck at about 23:00."As she did, she heard a loud banging noise and windows smashing.
