A father who stabbed his 14-year-old daughter in the heart while they were “play-fighting” in the kitchen has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after he was convicted of her murder.
Jurors found Simon Vickers, 50, guilty after they heard how he had given three different accounts of what happened in the seconds before he plunged a kitchen knife 11cm into his daughter Scarlett’s chest.
