Two men have been caged for a "vicious" machete attack in broad daylight on a father who was seen carrying a child on his shoulders moments earlier.
John Lucas and Stuart Jess were today handed lengthy prison sentences after admitting their involvement in the shocking assault in Wester Drylaw Drive, Edinburgh, on March 9, 2021.

She claimed Jess was now fearful of wider
