Burnley magistrates were told how Kieran Morris (28) had wanted to see the child he had by his former partner, but had been told by her to do it through a solicitor.

Morris lost his temper and punched the ex-girlfriend’s partner in the face. He then kicked the victim’s car, causing large dents, before driving off.
