A Plymouth man has been jailed for 11 years with a further three years to be served on licence after launching ferocious attacks on two women and two children in two homes across the city.
Brandon Wyatt, 22, burst into properties in North Prospect and Plympton on the same day and carried out a series of violent assaults, which left one child with facial fractures and one woman with serious head injuries.
Wyatt appeared at Plymouth Crown Court for sentencing today, Wednesday, 15 April, after previously pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent, grievous bodily harm and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The court also imposed restraining orders for 20 years to protect the victims.
The first attack happened on the afternoon of 10 January 2025, when Wyatt went to a property in North Prospect.
He entered the home shouting and screaming before grabbing a woman by the hair and repeatedly punching and kicking her.
Wyatt then produced a wrench and continued the attack, causing lacerations to the victim’s head and hands.
He later travelled by taxi to Plympton, where he got out without paying the fare.
He then went to a second property where the sister of the first victim was inside. Wyatt was known to both women.
At the address, Wyatt smashed a rear door with a plant pot to force his way inside before punching a woman and kicking two children in the face.
One child suffered facial fractures. The second child and the woman suffered swelling and bruising.
Police were dispatched and immediately began searching for Wyatt. He was later found on Derriford Road with the help of the police helicopter and arrested.
Officer in the case, Detective Constable Shaun McKenzie-Lenden said:
“We welcome the sentence given to Brandon Wyatt at Plymouth Crown Court today for two separate incidents of extreme violence over the course of one day.
“Wyatt attacked two women – one of whom with a weapon – and two children. One of his victims suffered significant head injuries which may have on another day proved fatal.
“This was a shocking and ferocious episode of violence. I would like to praise the bravery of the victims for supporting the police investigation.
“I hope they are now able to put this behind them and feel some closure.”
