A bereaved father hatched a brutal revenge attack on a man he believed was responsible for his son's tragic death, placing a tracking device on his car before ambushing him and slashing him 21 times with a 16-inch machete as he left the gym.
Samson Price, 48, attacked his son's childhood friend Patrick Brown just days after a coroner ruled his son Samson Junior's death as accidental drowning.
A court heard how Price had been left 'disgruntled' after Brown was arrested during a police investigation into the death, but was later released without charge.
