Brothers jailed after attacking man in his home

Dean, Daniel and Joshua Peacock have been jailed.

Three brothers who burst into a home while armed with weapons and attacked a man have been jailed.

Daniel, Dean and Joshua Peacock were carrying a hammer, scaffolding pole and bat when they forced their way into the Worksop property on 8 July 2024.

The victim, a man in his 30s, suffered a fractured skull after being struck on the head.

The three brothers, who are known to the victim, were captured on footage recorded on a mobile phone inside the property.

A woman and a number of children were also inside the home during the assault.

Daniel Peacock, aged 41, of Yeoman Close, Worksop, 38-year-old Dean Peacock and 32-year-old Joshua Peacock, both of Campbell Close, Worksop, all admitted aggravated burglary with intent.

Daniel and Dean Peacock each received six years and nine months in jail, while Joshua Peacock was given a six-year jail sentence when they appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (17 December).

Detective Constable Michaela Williams, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“We believe this attack may have been the result of a neighbourhood dispute.

“Whatever their motivation, the level of violence displayed by the three brothers was completely unacceptable.

“They entered the victim’s home while children were present, swinging weapons and threatening the man.

“He was then struck to the head with a weapon which caused a serious head injury.

“Given the force used, the injuries and consequences could easily have been even more grave.”
