A builder from Penzance went on a rampage, destroying the home of a star cricketer who he believed was having an affair with his wife.

The player in question was Somerset player Neil Edwards who was away playing in South Africa at the time. Whilst abroad, John Matthews, 50, caused £9,000 worth of damage by sawing a bed in half, cutting up curtains, pouring expanding foam down toilets and pouring creosote over furniture.

Matthews yesterday admitted in the Taunton Magistrate’s Court to causing more than £5,000 damage to the home.
