A MAN has admitted helping his friend evade capture from police by supplying him with a different vehicle after he'd killed a dad in a vicious attack.

In 2023, Jake McIntyre attacked pedestrian Andrew Peart after they clashed in what began as a minor traffic altercation in Guide Post, Northumberland. After words were exchanged, Andrew - who was intoxicated - challenged McIntyre to a fight.

Later, McIntyre, who was said to have had amateur boxing and cage fighting experience, returned to the scene after arming himself with a metal wheel brace and hit Andrew in the head with it.

“He later recording himself bragging, saying he had “wrapped a pole around his head”.
