The Glasgow crime story of the murder bid on Steven Bonzo Daniel

The 39-year-old dad was heading to the family home in Bishopbriggs when he realised his Skoda Octavia was being tailed by an Audi S3 and a VW Golf.The pursuit ended with the occupants of the Audi butchering his face.His nose was almost severed and his injuries were so severe that police initially thought he had been shot at close range.

His attempted murder was the culmination of a series of five similar attacks over a six-month period.Three pals, Ryan Fitzsimmons, 34, Gary Petty, 22, Thomas Bilsland, 31, and a 29-year-old cousin, who can’t be named for legal reasons, had also been targeted.Once inside he was hit twice on the back of the head with what appeared to be either a hatchet or a machete.

They stood trial at the High Court in Glasgow in January 2019 charged with the various attempted murder plots. Daniel admitted doing speeds of up to 100mph and had even planned to go down the wrong side of the motorway to escape.Daniel claimed he could not remember being attacked and could only recall his car skidding into a pole.He remained in hospital for several weeks to try and repair the horrific wounds to his face.

Detective Inspector Jim Bradley also praised medical staff for saving the lives of the victims and thanked witnesses for courageously providing crucial evidence that helped convict the men.
