He told the court: "They [the Squirrells] stood on the victim's neck, they punched and kicked him, and a number of the blows were directed toward the head.

"He was struggling to breathe, and he thought he was going to die.

"The police were called, and, fortunately, the defendants desisted and ran off.

"During these events, they caused some damage to the house, and, also, [the homeowners] were dealt with roughly.

"It is very fortunate that the injuries to the victim were not as serious as they could have been."
