A PLYMOUTH cabbie has been jailed for seven years for his part in a "terrifying" gun attack on a love rival.

Andrew Hawton, 42, was one of two men who forced their way into the home Darren Wright shared with Lisa Hawton.

The men then pushed Mr Wright to the floor, threatened him with a gun for 15 minutes, forcing it into Mr Wright's mouth.

During the ordeal, Hawton told him: "I asked you to finish with Lisa and you haven't. When are you going to stop seeing my wife?"

The court heard on January 31 this year Hawton, an independent Hackney Carriage driver from Admiralty Road, Keyham, drove to Torquay with an unidentified accomplice and went to the house of Mr Wright, who was living with Hawton's ex-partner Lisa, with whom Hawton has two children.

When Mr Wright – who was alone at the time – opened the door they forced their way through and pinned him to the floor by his neck.

First the gun was held to his temple, then it was put in his mouth, Exeter Crown Court heard.

I agree, LOs aren't allowed to say never, but in this case I think they will.

I can never get my head around how guys become so obsessed about women - feck me the worlds full of them.

I would go as far as to say they are like buses - there'll be another one along in a minute.

Don't get me wrong, I like women, as long as I can hand them back. :lol:
