Seven convictions for Wiltshire hammer attack

[28th February 2008]

Seven young people have been convicted after they brutally attacked a 16-year old with a claw hammer.

Victim Henry Webster suffered three skull fractures as a result of the attack. One of the fractures caused a brain injury that required life-saving surgery.

The fight was planned after Webster apparently barged into some boys in a school corridor. A gang of males then travelled from Swindon to Wroughton for the fight.
