Three homophobic sisters have been pictured brazenly laughing after walking free from court.

The trio were captured after walking free from Liverpool Crown Court - after hurling homophobic abuse at a man during a family feud.

Leanne Whelan, who was pregnant, swung a hammer at Peter Taylor.

She then branded him "queer" and "a ********t along with her sisters Louise and Samantha Whelan.

The sickening incident unfolded in Birkenhead, Liverpool, on August 11 of last year.

Children playing in the street witnessed Leanne, 32, Louise, 29, and Samantha, 33, shouting and screaming at their victim.

The Liverpool Echo, our sister title, reports the three single mums walked free after the judge ruled that their imprisonment would cause "significant harm" to their children.

Prosecutors said there was a dispute between the sisters and the paternal gran of Samantha's children, Deborah McKenna, over a dog.
They said Ms McKenna and her son Thomas Carson had made reports to social services about the welfare of children, but no action was taken.

Paul Becker, prosecuting, said it later involved Katie Cunningham, the girlfriend of Mr Carson, and Mr Taylor, a friend of the McKenna family.

He said all parties on both sides of the dispute were warned by a housing association about their behaviour before the incident, on August 11 last year.

The Whelan sisters said they were driving to their mum's when they saw Ms Cunningham outside Mr Carson's house in Alwen Street, Birkenhead.

Prosecutors accepted it was a "chance encounter" but they got out of a silver Mercedes and shouted "come on let's go" before Leanne got a hammer.

Ms Cunningham fled into the house but Mr Taylor, who was in the back garden and heard shouting, came out to investigate.

Mr Becker said the sisters shouted to Ms Cunningham and Ms McKenna to come out, but Mr Taylor told them to calm down.

He said: "Samantha Whelan was abusive and said '******* off, we don't want you."

Mr Becker said Mr Taylor stood his ground and Leanne swung the hammer, missing his upper body, during "chaotic scenes".

He said: "Leanne Whelan was seen to be bouncing towards Mr Taylor, threatening and generally acting aggressively. Mr Taylor was shocked and scared."

Mr Becker said the victim backed off and the sisters walked away but "were all shouting homophobic comments about Mr Taylor"
