Overview

• On July 21, 2025, Liverpool Crown Court jailed Adam Wilson for 11 years eight months and David Bowen for 10 years four months as dangerous offenders, requiring each to serve two-thirds of their term before eligibility for parole.
• Wilson and Bowen returned to a Boxwood Gardens home three days after a burglary, intending to steal a Rolex and shooting neighbour Attila Udvardi in the thigh when he challenged them.
• Judge Stuart Driver highlighted both men’s extensive criminal records and longstanding substance-misuse histories as evidence of a high risk of serious harm.
• The loaded firearm used in the attack remains unrecovered, prompting the court to impose extended four-year licence periods and lifelong restraining orders.
• Victim Attila Udvardi required surgery for a through-thigh wound and continues to live in fear, describing the ordeal as having “ruined” his life.
