A family who were subjected to a campaign of abuse by their neighbour before she launched a vicious spade attack are living in fear that she could return to 'finish the job she intended' after she was spared jail.

Mother-of-three Catherine 'Cat' Lloyd, 44, pounced from behind her gate and smashed her victim over the top of the head in a narrow alleyway between their homes in a late-night attack his family say he was lucky to come out of alive.

In new CCTV from the night obtained by the Daily Mail, she then smashes him over the head with a wooden bat with the help of her ex-boyfriend whom she had called over to join in.

The horrifying double attack, caught on CCTV, followed a three-year campaign of abuse against the victim's grandparents-in-law in which she made 1am death threats, branded them 'paedophiles' and 'murderers' online and even threw bricks at them.

Cambridgeshire Police said Lloyd struck her neighbour, in his 20s, over the head with a spade in Peterborough on May 14 2023 after a 'long-running dispute', leaving him with a large gash to the head which required hospital treatment.
