Well done to Mrs Saldinack for reporting her two sons to the police for the horrific attack and injury they inflicted upon Marc Parkinson in Chichester last year.

Mrs Saldinack’s sons, Luke Newman and Oliver Clark, along with a third man, Benjamin Hammond, set upon Mr Parkinson and a friend in a completely unprovoked attack. All too common these days. They kicked and punched Mr Parkinson causing serious injury including blinding him in his right eye.

After hearing her two sons bragging about the attack Mrs Saldinack responsibly called the police. Her family and her son’s girlfriends have now broken off all communications with her and are alleged to have threatened her for what she did. Yet she was in the right and the two idiot sons were clearly in the wrong. What sort of family are these people?

Mrs Saldinack is undoubtedly a very brave and courageous lady, unlike her thuggish offspring who are now serving two years each for these offences.

But will two years behind bars for these mindless, violent criminals give Mr Parkinson his sight back? Of course not. Two years in prison for this violent act that has resulted in a law abiding citizen losing his sight, his business and his health is nowhere near enough. And if it wasn’t for Mrs Saldinack’s bravery they would still be walking the streets, bragging about their exploits and potentially committing further acts of gross violence.

If you know of someone who has bragged of having committed a violent crime we encourage you to call the police. Not doing so could result in someone else getting hurt, or worse.
