An Afghanistan veteran has been convicted of murder after stabbing his neighbours in their home following a parking row.
Collin Reeves knifed Stephen and Jennifer Chapple six times each while their children slept in their house in Dragon Rise, Norton Fitzwarren, Somerset, on the evening of November 21 last year. Reeves, also of Dragon Rise, had been disputing with the young couple over designated parking on the new-build housing development for a while.
The 35-year-old former Royal Engineer used his ceremonial dagger, given to him when he left the army, to commit the murders. Security cameras caught him climbing the fence separating his garden from the victims' while entering through the back door.
