Joanne Adams, 35, couldn’t believe that it was Gavin who hit her husband twice with an axe after waiting in the store room for four hours. He had lost his job and blamed Mr Adams for his dismissal. Mrs Adams was quoted as saying, “When we found out it was Gavin who did it we couldn’t believe it. He always seemed such a quiet boy. He was the type that would blush when you said hello to him. Richard has nightmares and wakes me up at night punching the air in his sleep.” Mr Adams spent two days in hospital with head wounds.
