Cambridge farm worker Ryan Wenzlick attacked his former partner's new boyfriend, leaving him with brain damage. A Cambridge farm worker who refused to accept his relationship was over and attacked his ex-girlfriend's new partner with a hammer, has been jailed for more than six years. In various messages in late July, Wenzlick described himself as a "love struck psycho" and how he wanted to reunite with her and her children. He then struck Buckeridge with the hammer around the head at least five times, using "considerable force". "None of this excuses your offending however this information does give some context as to how this offending came to pass."
