The dad refused to go to hospital for two days out of 'loyalty' to his son
A thug who viciously beat his own father to a pulp has been sent to jail. Nathan Brine battered left his dad with a broken eye socket, forehead and jaw during a drug fuelled attack.
Brine, 28, of Longden Street, Hull, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on his father on April 27. Paul Genney, prosecuting, said that, after Brine was released from prison, his 53-year-old father offered him a home but "things didn't work out" because Brine took drugs and became difficult and controlling.
"The problem was that the father was refusing to go to hospital out of a combination of fear, affection for the defendant, and loyalty to the family generally," said Mr Genney. "He was refusing to attract the attention of the authorities so waited two days. Brine had a conviction from 2018 for robbery in which he had been jailed for three years and nine months after targeting his 83-year-old grandmother. She had done her best to help him by cooking his meals, washing his clothes and allowing his benefits to be paid into her bank account.
Nigel Clive, mitigating, said that Brine's father admitted that he had provoked his son. Brine was close to his father, despite the incident. "He loves his family very much," said Mr Clive. Judge Mark Bury replied: "Funny way of showing it."
