- 4 days ago
A man has been found guilty of killing Northumberland man Andrew Peart.
On August 23 last year, police were contacted by medical staff at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington who were caring for an injured man who was described as having catastrophic brain injuries.
The man was identified as 39-year-old Andrew Peart and, despite the best efforts of medical staff, his condition deteriorated, he sadly died a week later.
An investigation was launched by officers from the Force’s Major Investigation Team, who believed Andrew’s injuries were sustained as a result of an assault.
The subsequent investigation revealed that earlier in the same evening, Andrew had a verbal altercation with the driver of a silver Mitsubishi Shogun on The Square in Guide Post, Northumberland.
The driver of the vehicle – who was later identified as 28-year-old Jake McIntyre – had been driving on The Square and had to slow down as Andrew crossed the road.
McIntyre drove away after the argument before returning, catching up to Andrew near Guide Post Working Men’s Club where got out the vehicle and struck Andrew with a metal tyre lever he had in his car.
