Andrew Gaskin, used a ski mask to hide his face as he entered a house in Armthorpe alongside Patrick Maughan, 38, who was jailed in 2022 for 18 years for his part in the aggravated burglary.
After entering the family home on 9 March 2022, Maughan launched a violent and unprovoked attack on the victims, leaving a mum with a heavily bleeding stab wound in front of her young daughter.
He then threw a birdbath at her son before fleeing the scene, with Maughan, previously of Maple Avenue, Cantley.
Gaskin’s part in the house raid that left the mum fighting for her life saw him charged with aggravated burglary, with the 29-year-old pleading guilty to the offence at Sheffield Crown Court on 30 November 2023. He was sentenced to eight years behind bars at the same court
