Mark Peacock, 39, Shakira Hellings, 29, Christopher Edwards, 38, And Stanley Butler, 40, Wrong House

[Abroad]

An innocent family were beaten and stabbed in their own home in a scene from a "horror film" after a masked gang targeted the wrong house.

Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard Mark Peacock, 39, Shakira Hellings, 29, Christopher Edwards, 38, and Stanley Butler, 40, had thought the home in Penygraig, Rhondda Cynon Taf, belonged to a drug dealer.

The family were woken by the sound of their front door being forced before the gang started screaming for money and stabbed a teenage boy twice in his leg.

His older sister confronted them and was hit with a crowbar before being repeatedly punched to the face.

Their mother was stabbed and the father was hit over the head with the crowbar before his wife picked up one of the weapons and chased the gang out of the house.

The attack, which was described as "a scene from a horror film", was witnessed by the family's 13-year-old daughter who raised the alarm.

Nice to know that idiots abound everywhere, not just in the US.

This crew couldn't put enough brain cells together to find the right house. Love the last guy's expression. He's surviving on his reptilian brain because the rest is destroyed by drugs.

On the plus side- After grabbing a weapon and chasing four armed intruders out of the house, Mom's got some serious leverage over her kids.

You could put them on a poster to show why NOT to ever use drugs.
