Are you sure it's the lock that's jammed ? If it's the spindle you could take the handle of another/same handle and try it...or if the window has jammed shut run something down the seal/around the frame to get it moving ?

If nothing else works, drill out the barrel of the lock starting with a 5mm dia. drill and using progressively bigger bits until it disintegrates. You can probably get a replacement lock somewhere but it isn't the end of the world if you can't.

Those locks will open with just a flat head screwdriver, usually causing no damage at all. I lost the keys on mine many a year ago.

The pins that are activated by the handle slot into plates on the window frame. These can get corrided/oxidized and can be a right b****r to release. Hard to get at them. You can easily break the handle if you try and force it.
