A man called 999 after stabbing his friend with a knife after dinner.
Paul Rimmer, 49, of Alder Crescent in Kirkby, had been out drinking with his friend Peter Moreton on June 22, 2021 when he was invited back to his home for dinner. But as Mr Moreton was "concerned" about his friend throughout the evening, an "altercation" soon occurred between the two.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Thursday that there had been "shouting" before a scuffle and Mr Moreton "punched" Rimmer. But Rimmer then grabbed hold of a knife that had been on the dinner table and "stabbed Mr Moreton in the abdomen".
