Joseph Townsley, 63, crashed his seven and a half tonne Ford Iveco truck through the gates of the house in Newmains, North Lanarkshire. Frank Baxter, 23, is thought to have died after falling backwards and hitting his head on a wall. Townsley had stood trial for murder but a jury at the High Court in Livingston found him guilty of the lesser charge. The trial heard Townsley, a tarmac contractor known as Bomber, had travelled to the home of Mr Baxter's parents in Crindledyke Crescent, Newmains, on 8 May last year.

The court was told he was looking for Mr Baxter after his daughter claimed to have been attacked by him, another man called Alex Minto, 31, and their wives Willamina Baxter, 25, and Saphire Foy, 32, at the M and D's theme park earlier that day. Mr Baxter and Mr Minto had grabbed golf clubs and were standing outside the house when they saw the lorry coming towards them. The court heard from crash investigator, PC Douglas McLeod, who said there was "no evidence" brakes had been applied prior to impact.
Mr Baxter was taken to Wishaw General Hospital but died less than an hour later after his brain swelled due to a skull fracture, thought to have been sustained when he fell backwards and struck a wall. The court was shown CCTV footage of another car pulling up beside the lorry, which was deliberately set on fire just minutes after the crash.
