A dad who stabbed a man up to 20 times with a machete in a revenge attack outside a gym has been jailed for 30 years for attempted murder.
Police said Samson Price, 48, was 'unhappy with the outcome' of a police investigation into his son's death three years ago and 'decided to take the law into his own hands in a carefully planned attack' - even plating a tracker on the man's car.
His son, Samson Price Jnr, drowned in a lake at Westwood Flash in Wigan in October, 2020. He was aged just 18. Police said Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation and two people - then teenagers - were arrested. No charges were ever brought against them, however, and a coroner went on to record an open verdict at an inquest into his death.
