A dad who watched burglars raiding his family's house through a Ring doorbell camera rushed home and stabbed one to death, a court heard.
Karl Townsend and his half brother Jamie Cunningham allegedly armed themselves with knives after being alerted to a break in at his property in Halewood. Townsend is said to have shouted at three intruders to get out of his home, before stabbing Jordan Brophy in the face and head.
Prosecutors say one of those stabs through Mr Brophy's eye left a broken blade embedded in his brain. They allege Townsend and Cunningham left the scene but returned shortly afterwards, when Townsend then stabbed the 31-year-old in his jugular vein.
