This happened around five miles away from where I live.
Gangsters from Liverpool are believed to have travelled to Scotland to carry out a horror machete attack on a couple over an unpaid six-figure debt.
The male victim was so badly injured he had to have his right leg amputated while his partner lost two fingers on her left hand when she was hurt as she tried to call police.
The 28-year-old mum-of-two, from Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, told how she and her partner have now separated. "I can’t tell you why we were attacked. I don’t know the ins and outs of the story as he hasn’t been honest with me about what happened."
A family member of the woman said: “Even the police have said it was the worst they had ever seen. She was lucky she did not lose more than her two fingers.”
Sources claim the male victim, 28, was targeted over a massive debt owed to Liverpool criminals and had just recently been released from prison. The full details of all the weapons used in the violent attack are not known.
Drug Related for Sure.
