Man tried to murder his mum, 73, after she got back from bingo in brutal stabbing

A man has been found guilty of attempted murder after he repeatedly stabbed his 73-year-old mother outside her home.

Marc Weaver waited for his mum to return home from a night out playing bingo with friends at around midnight on Monday, July 11 last year. As she pulled onto the driveway, he opened the car door and repeatedly stabbed her in the driver's seat, police said.

Neighbours on the street on Hope Farm Road, in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, were awoken by the sound of screams and a car horn. The first neighbour ran out to help and grappled with Weaver in a bid to save the victim.
