Landowner Jailed At Bristol Crown Court


In a separate matter, on 3rd August 2010 the 58 year old property developer Houshang Jafari was sentenced by Bristol Crown Court to 12 months in jail for endangering an aircraft. Apparently he got into a fit of rage when a helicopter landed on the shared lawn outside his luxury apartment at the Dower House overlooking Stoke Park. He punched and kicked the helicopter before throwing a carrier bag into its blades and destabilising it by grabbing a skid bar.
