A MAN is due to appear in court today (Thursday, September 19) following an incident that saw a window smashed and blood smeared on homes in Blacon.

Kevin Hughes, aged 40, of Browning Close, has been charged with two counts of criminal damage and has been ordered to attend Chester Magistrates Court.

The Standard has exclusively reported over the last two days how a mum was left in shock when a man came crashing through their living room window while her seven-year-old daughter was watching TV.

The incident happened in the area of Thomas Close on Tuesday (September 17).
