Drug-induced psychosis meant he wrongly be­lieved he was protecting them from an “evil gang”.

The scaffolder, of Fawley, Hants, was seen on the Isle of Wight and in the North West before driving at 92mph into a Barnsley pub last August.

His sons, nine months and two, seven-year-old daughter and stepdaughter, eight, now have life-long learning difficulties.

Scott admitted attempted murder and was jailed for 28 years at Sheffield crown court.
