Man stabbed parents 280 times in brutal murders before trying to flee country

A man who carried out a frenzied knife attack on his mum and dad - inflicting around 280 wounds in total as he killed them - has been jailed for life. Lee Tipping will serve a minimum of 27 years for the violent killings.

Friends and family packed the public gallery at Preston Crown Court today to see Tipping, 36, sentenced for two counts of murder. My Justice Goose told him that he did not believe his claims that dad Anthony, 60, was a bully and mum, Patricia, 57, was neglectful.

The judge said they provided the best of care to their mentally ill son. The court had earlier heard that Anthony and Patricia had returned home to Higher Walton, Lancashire, at 11pm on November 19, 2021, when they were met with violence from their son, reports LancsLive.
