Mum screamed 'I'm gonna kill you!' before shoving electric drill into disabled neighbour's head

A mum thrust a drill into her disabled neighbour’s head whilst screaming: “I’m gonna kill you” in a horrifying attack. Jade Kent, 31, barged into the woman’s home before pinning her to her seat using her foot and shoving the Black and Decker drill against her skull.

After turning the power tool on, the woman squirmed down into her seat to get away but was caught in the neck. Despite telling Kent that she was disabled and pleading with her to stop, the mum-of-one continued to punch and kick her before running home.

Kent was originally charged with attempted murder, but has since pleaded guilty to an alternative offence of section 18 wounding with intent and aggravated burglary. Last week, (April 21) she was jailed for five years and four months at Manchester Crown Court.

They told her to go home and go to bed, but Kent, who appeared to be drunk, continued to shout for them to come outside. Later that morning, the victim's partner saw a silver Audi covered in paint parked outside Kent’s house.

When he later took the dog for a walk with his nephew he came across Kent. An argument
