A dad who stabbed a burglar to death "pretended he believed his partner and child were in danger", a court heard.
Half brothers Karl Townsend and Jamie Cunningham allegedly armed themselves with knives after being alerted by Ring doorbell to a break-in at Townsend's Halewood home. Prosecutors say they rushed to the address and confronted three intruders.
Townsend is said to have stabbed Jordan Brophy in the head and arm, before twice knifing him in the face. One stab wound went through his left optic nerve, leaving a broken blade embedded in his brain.
