TWO people were given jail sentences after brutally beating a man with a baseball bat in Harefield after he was lured into a trap.

James White, 22, of Morse Close, Harefield, and Crystal Culhane, 22, of The Brambles, West Drayton, were sentenced on Friday at the Old Bailey.

White was sentenced to 11 years and Culhane for two years, suspended for two years.

They were both found guilty of grievous bodily harm in November following a four-week trial.

A 33-year-old man was beaten with a baseball bat by White, having been lured to Dovedale Close by Culhane in August 2019.

White and Culhane were on a date that night, having not seen each other for many years. The victim was in a relationship with Culhane at the time.

Due to the severity of the injuries, he remains unable to recall what happened to him.

Det Sgt Jaspal Bains said: “This was a horrible and senseless attack which initially left the victim critically injured.”
