Dad tried to kill teen with machete after wrongly blaming him for son's death

A man took the law into his own hands after his son died by attacking a teen with a machete.

Samson Price appeared at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, April 4, after being found guilty of attempted murder in a six-day trial. He had also pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of a knife in a public place.

The court heard how Price's son, Samson Jnr, drowned at Wigan Flash on Sunday, October 4 2020. An investigation into the 18-year-olds death was undertaken by Greater Manchester Police and two teenage boys were arrested – including the victim from the machete attack, Patrick Brown.
