A judge who handed down an eight year jail sentence to a criminal who went on the run for five years has also banned him from contacting his son and daughter-in-law until January 2033.
The restraining order was handed to Mario Pisano, of no fixed abode in Camborne, Cornwall, after he appeared at Plymouth Crown Court having plead guilty to a single count of aggravated burglary at a property in St Johns Road, Ivybridge, on September 11, 2019.
The court heard how Pisano - now aged 54 - had attended the Ivybridge address with Lee Dainter with the aim of stealing the contents of a safe.
However, during the burglary, they found a man - the partner of Dainter's sister - at the address and set about him with a machete and knife, leaving him with horrific injuries before fleeing with around £10,000 in cash, watches and jewellery.
Pisano was eventually traced to Camborne and arrested, but was then released on bail. Seizing the opportunity, Pisano fled the country and returned, but only to be arrested for "unconnected matters last year".
Having handed him an eight year sentence for the aggravated burglary, Judge Matthew Turner turned to the 'unconnected matters' which included criminal damage, harassment - including threats to kill - causing unnecessary suffering to a dog by kicking it, and an assault on a woman. Pisano had denied the offences.
Judge Turner told Pisano the matters before him related to Pisano's daughter-in-law. He said there was "undisputed evidence" that he had told his daughter-in-law "I hate you and the kids, you're all f***ed up, I cannot believe my son is with you".
The court heard that Pisano sent text messages to her including the words "I hope you die when giving birth" and entered his son and daughter-in-law's home in Cornwall uninvited.
Judge Turner noted that the Crown Prosecution Service had decided it was not in the public interest to proceed with four further matters, and that they would lie on file.
However he said he would support the making of restraining order and imposed it with the conditions of not to contact his daughter-in-law or his son either directly or indirectly and not to enter a named street in a Cornish town for the next eight years.
