By Advertiser Reporter A LAND Rover driver repeatedly rammed a Honda on “Ram Alley”. Jake Ham, 20, was driving the 4x4 on false plates, without insurance and while towing another vehicle when he came face-to-face with the Honda on the single-track road near Burbage in May 2019. Prosecutor Rhianna Fricker told Swindon Crown Court the driver of the Honda was on Ram Alley when he saw the Land Rover Discovery coming towards him. Both drivers applied their brakes and skidded towards each other. The cars crashed head-on. Ms Fricker said: “The defendant then reversed the Land Rover a number of times and drove it towards the victim’s car on three occasions, making a connection with it and causing further damage.

Swindon Crown Court A HIGHWORTH pensioner who compared himself to Jekyll and Hyde has been jailed for a six-month campaign of controlling abuse against his vulnerable wife. Clifford Pyle controlled access to his wife’s medication, called her vile names and threatened her with knives. The 71-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of controlling and coercive behaviour on the day of his trial in January. Sending Pyle to prison for 21 months on Wednesday, Recorder Roger Harris said: “There is very noticeable lack of remorse on your part.”
Swindon Crown Court was told Pyle had been married to his wife, who has learning difficulties, for 11 years.
