You got a crush on my missus?

Well not any more! JILTED plant hire boss Martyn Wright took revenge on a love rival – by destroying his car with a 13-ton digger. Wright, 30, turned Anthony Simpson’s Toyota Land Cruiser into a heap of metal. He went berserk after discovering risque text messages from childhood friend Simpson, 22, on his partner Linda’s mobile. Yesterday he was given a conditional discharge after admitting criminal damage, but said: “I’ve no regrets about it – he deserved it.” District Judge Liz Harte told him at Chesterfield Magistrates Court, Derbys: “I have listened carefully to the circumstances in which this offence was committed.” Wright, of Hartington – who is now back with Linda – said: “I’ve known Simpson for 15 years. This is something you just don’t do to your mates.”
