Killer son stabbed parents 184 times then booked getaway flight from Manchester Airport

A son has been convicted of a brutal double murder of his parents - stabbing them 184 times in a frenzied attack. After killing them at their home in Lancashire, Lee Tipping fled the scene of the crime and later tried to make a getaway from Manchester Airport but lost his nerve.

Tipping, 36, was today found guilty of the shocking double murder of his parents Anthony Tipping and Patricia Livesey by a jury following a trial at Preston Crown Court. He claimed he acted in self defence when he knifed his dad 131 times in his chest and even his eyes.

He then said he lost control and turned the blade on his mum, stabbing her 153 times. But the jury dismissed Tipping's claims and found he was the aggressor in the frenzied attack at the house in Cann Bridge Street in Higher Walton, Lancashire, on November 19, 2021.
