Family feud led to caravan site double shooting in Wakefield

CCTV from the Bathie family farm in Woodhouse Lane, East Ardsley, then showed the three arming themselves with a shotgun and other weapons before setting off in convoy in a JCB tractor and a Mercedes pick-up truck for the Price family’s home at a caravan park in Dunningley Lane, Tingley.

At about 6.30pm, Richard Bathie arrived at the wheel of the JCB and shouted abuse before the three descended on the site armed with the gun and other weapons. Car windows were smashed, and the shotgun repeatedly fired.

McDermott, who was armed with the gun, approached Mr Price and shot him during a scuffle as he tried to grab the barrel.

McDermott then pointed the gun at Mr Doran. He put up his hand which took the blast causing catastrophic damage to his fingers.

Imagine doing a ride out on a tractor 🤣🤣😭

As someone who grew up as a traveller this is just so dumb 🤦‍♂️

So much cultural ingrained hate, it's beyond sad. Ignorance & fuelled historic feuds some will not put behind them. Never forgiveness only retribution & vengeance that carries on through generations. When will folk learn only disaster and grief result in such a mindset? It's the children I worry for being nurtured in such society.

Did they slip them tires around their waists and stomach for protection..?

[itsmeitsmeitsme]

They would have gotten less time if they did kill em

State of how that kid with no top on is handling that shotgun 🤦
I’m actually embarrassed for him.

Moral of the story dont hit people over the head with bottles

[hemtet]

It’s extraordinary how this escalated, a fistfight has resulted in attempted murder and the destruction of the perpetrators lives. It seems like a contagious insanity took hold and there was no one to make them aware of how crazy it all was.

I was in jail with Shaun and Richard they are not travellers and they did not go there to kill anyone the shotgun went off accidentally and Shaun was chopped with a machete. When the guy grabbed the gun it went off then the family who got shot started snitching

[UKCheeseFarmer]

When your own CCTV puts you in jail... Priceless. I love the Travelling community, spent many a good time on site with Traveller friends up and down the country, but this lot, are an embarrassment to the entire Travelling community. Shameful.

[ZackKnightMusic]

[Jokesonyou]

3 less off that lot on the street winner winner

[dididonk]

Why can't people have a straight punch up anymore???

[colinsmith]

I am glad too see the judge handing down proper sentences for this violent carnage. I hope it sends out a message to travellers they are not above the law in such matters. Behaving like it is the wild west. The feudal system no longer exists.

[lennon]

it all reminds me of heartbeat for some reason

[babysham]

I thought the Irish have straighteners to sort feuds. They should stick to that no point moving up to gangster shit.

[dalecross]
