He admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was sentenced to nine years in prison at Nottingham Crown Court.

Jeremiah, of Manchester Road, Carrington, Manchester, also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Nottinghamshire Police said after the argument, Rudolph and his brother arranged a fight to settle matters.

The victim was then confronted by five members of his family - Rudolph and his nephews Jeremiah, Abraham Price, Danny Price and Samson Price - outside his home in Newark.

Officers said the confrontation started with a physical assault before escalating to a machete attack and a gun shot.

The victim was rescued by another relative and taken to hospital for treatment to serious but not life-threatening injuries.

After being traced to Manchester, Jeremiah and Abraham tried to escape by jumping into a fast-flowing river but were caught and arrested.

During the investigation, the force said Thomas Hallissey was filmed at the victim's address making threats to kill him and his family, which were posted on social media.
