Judge blasts scourge of knife crime after locking up murderer who stabbed new dad to death in the street

A judge blasted the scourge of knife crime as he locked up a murderer who stabbed a new dad to death in the street. Neri Morse's loved ones told of their devastation following their loss after his killer was handed a life sentence.

Rushaun Brown will serve at least 24 years in prison after being found guilty of murder. Mr Norse, 24, was knifed to the heart on a busy street in Ancoats as part of a revenge attack. His son was just four months old when he was killed.

Manchester Crown Court heard that the killing was carried out in retaliation for a 'failed attack' by Mr Morse and his 22-year-old nephew Driece Morse in a nearby shop. The pair burst into the store, with Driece Morse wearing a balaclava and being armed with a knife.
