After chatting on Facebook, he invited Liptrot, 18, to join him at the lock-in at a local hotel.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that an argument broke out with Robert Taylor, who was driving Liptrot around, after Mr Williams said she could bring her female pal, but no male friends.

When they arrived at the hotel around 4am Ms Liptrot called Mr Williams and asked him to meet her outside.

He was left with four broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, bleeding in his right lung and chest and a cut to his liver.

He also suffered severe bruising and a forehead wound that will leave a permanent scar.

They drove off and didn't call an ambulance.

Catherine Ellis, prosecuting, said: “He was deliberately brought into the roadway so that something could be done to him."

To cover-up their crime the pair hid the car and called insurers to say it had been vandalised.

Police later found it.
