A single stab wound went straight through a dad-of-two’s heart and caused him to bleed so quickly it was impossible for his loved ones to save him, a court heard.
The pathologist who performed a post mortem on Paul Stenson, who was killed last year, said the 18cm deep wound also punctured his lung, furthering the catastrophic damage.
Adam Fletcher allegedly murdered Paul Stenson outside a home on Princess Drive in West Derby on December 18 last year - only hours after the two met at a party there. After an argument between the two turned into a scuffle and they were asked to go outside, Fletcher is said to have grabbed a kitchen knife from inside the home before hiding it behind his back, pulling Mr Stenson towards him and plunging it into his side.
