Jarvin's friend, Declan Maw, 23, was also assaulted but survived the attack and was moved to a police safe house.

During a recent hearing at Derby Crown Court it emerged that Maw was a drug dealer.

Last September he was caught dealing heroin and cocaine through a car window in the car park of a Travelodge in Brimington Road, Chesterfield.

Police officers swooped and found 39 wraps of heroin and 38 cocaine deals, worth around £800, in the car.

Maw pleaded guilty to possession of drugs with intent to supply and his sentence was deferred for six months.
