This is the shocking moment a lottery millionaire's son smashed a shop worker over the head in a botched robbery.

The CCTV footage shows Colin Munro taking part in a raid on the Hillhouse Off Sales and Grocery store in Hamilton in Lanarkshire, Scotland, last September.

Munro, 32, and his accomplice, Andrew Madden, 33, both appeared at the High Court in Paisley yesterday after pleading guilty to a charge of assault with intent to rob.

Judge Lady Scott sentenced both to four years and ordered they be supervised for a further three years on their release.

During the case, the court heard that Munro and Madden targeted the store, which is where Mohammed Rafiq, 47, and shop owner Shahid Parvez worked, who were injured as they wrestled with the two armed men.

Following the case, Mr Rafiq, who suffered a head wound after being hit with a hammer, criticised the sentences, which he branded "wrong".

He added: "They should have got more than 10 years," he said. "I thought I was going to be killed."

CCTV, which was shown in court, shows Madden initially storming into the store clutching a hammer with his hood up and a scarf covering his face.

He immediately went behind the till and soon began grappling with Mr Parvez.

Munro - armed with a knife and with his face also hidden - then raced into the store. He turned on Mr Rafiq and started punching him.

The duo left empty-handed but Munro returned and struck Mr Rafiq on the head with the hammer leaving him badly injured, the court heard.

The court heard that the pair fled the scene but were traced by a police sniffer dog to a nearby house and arrested.

Munro's mother Catherine of Cambuslang near Glasgow , who won £3.5million in the lottery in 2005, passed away days after he admitted the raid.

In 2006 she told how she was going to split her millions with her family.
