A man who admitted two assaults after police were called to a home in Grantham has today (Monday) appeared at Lincoln Crown Court.
Mark Hough, 55, was arrested after offficers were deployed to an incident involving three people at a property on Manchester Way, Grantham, at 9.51pm on Wednesday, October 27, last year.
Lincolnshire Police said a woman in her 50s was seriously injured after suffering a puncture wound and a man in his 20s suffered minor burn injuries.
Hough, formerly of Manchester Way, Grantham, later appeared at Lincoln Crown Court and denied a charge of attempting to murder Alison Worley 27 October 27, 2021.
He also pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault occassioning actual bodily harm to his son, Joshua Hough, on the same date.
However at a further hearing Hough pleaded guilty to an offence of wounding Alison Worley with intent to cause her grievous bodily harm.
He also admitted a second charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm to Joshua Hough.
Sentence was adjourned for the preparation of psychiatric and pre-sentence reports on Hough.
Judge Simon Hirst also asked for an up to date medical report on the injuries sustained by Hough’s two victims and for a further victim impact statement from Alison Worley.
Leanne Summers, prosecuting, told the hearing: “Having spoken to Alison Worley I understand the injury to her left arm means that she still can not drive or work, and she is still receiving medical treatment.”
John McNally, defending Hough, told the court he had a difficult relationship with his son but he did not claim that his actions were in self defence.
Judge Hirst remanded Hough back into custody until July 14 when he will be sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court.

Court summons are pending for two motorists, one in a car and another on a motorbike, after they clocked up unbelievable speeds on the A46 on Tuesday.
Lincolnshire Police Specialist Operations received two reports of excessive speeds on the A46 between Newark and Lincoln on Tuesday.
A car and motorbike both hit speeds of almost double the dual carriageway speed limit, with the car driver reaching 120 miles per hour and the motorbike going even quicker at 127mph.
Both motorists will be receiving a summons for court “in due course”, according to Lincolnshire Police.
Work by our Lincoln Neighbourhood Policing Teams to combat theft in the city has had another boost following the charge of a further two individuals.
Adam Golightly, 43, of Allandale View, Lincoln, was arrested following a proactive shop theft operation in the city centre last week. He has been charged with seven counts of theft and two bike thefts.
All of the shop thefts are reported to have taken place at Co-op stores in the city centre area and Carholme Road between June and last week. Items stolen included meat and cleaning products to the value of £424. The bike thefts also happened during that period. One of the bikes stolen was valued at £360, the other was an unknown value.
Following a hearing at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on 12 August where he entered a not guilty plea, he has been given conditional bail and will appear at the court for trial on 22 September. His bail condition is not to enter any Coop store in Lincolnshire.
In a separate case, Carl Atkin, 37, of Friar’s Lane, Lincoln, was charged on 11 August with five bike thefts which took place at different times and locations across the city. On 12 August at a hearing at Lincoln Magistrate’s Court, he was given a 10 week sentence, suspended for 12 months.
