Pensioner in parking row 'died after attackers used police computer to track him down.'

 

A pensioner involved in a row about a parking space collapsed and died within minutes of a revenge attack after his alleged killers used a policeman to trace his address, a court heard yesterday.

Bernard Gilbert, 79, was targeted for revenge after arguing with shopper Zoe Forbes when she "nipped into" his space at an Asda supermarket.

A jury heard Mrs Forbes, 26, immediately phoned her husband Mark, who told her to write down the pensioner's registration plate.

 

The couple plotted their revenge and Forbes even sent his wife a text message promising: "We'll smash his car to bits and then his hire car and then whatever he gets after that until he dies."

Nottingham Crown Court heard Forbes, 40, contacted a friend who knew a policeman. The officer typed Mr Gilbert's number plate into the police national computer to find his address.

four days after the row, Forbes and his brother, Steven, 22, drove to Mr Gilbert's bungalow and threw half a brick through the bedroom window. The pensioner died of a heart attack within 35 minutes.

Steven Forbes, who later confessed to throwing the brick, has admitted a charge of criminal damage.
