A killer who stabbed a "precious son" to death in his bedroom has been jailed for 14-and-a-half years.
Fise Ames Abdou died after being repeatedly knifed in the legs at the home he was staying at in South Shields. One of the stab wounds to Fise's leg severed a vein and he bled to death despite efforts to save him.
Shaun Riches was cleared of murdering him but convicted of manslaughter. As he was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court, Fise's family said he was a "one-off" who can never be replaced.
