A man who stabbed his neighbour to death has been cleared of murder and manslaughter.
Jeffrey Kelly fatally knifed Derek Burns in the heart during a heated dispute at the block of flats where they lived on Newsham Drive in Tuebrook. But the 56-year-old was today unanimously cleared of murdering the dad-of-two by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court.
He was also acquitted of manslaughter after six hours and two minutes of deliberations. Kelly put his head back in relief as the verdict was delivered.
