A former warehouse worker helped a knifeman by driving him away from the scene of a vicious stabbing and hiding his coat for him.
Nathan Corlett, 26, of Wellingford Avenue, Widnes, appeared before Liverpool Crown Court on Monday for sentencing. He previously pleaded guilty to one count of assisting an offender.
Henry Riding, prosecuting, said on December 20, at around 1am, Corlett drove from Widnes to Warrington in order to pick up Lee Ashton. Just over an hour earlier, Ashton had knifed Robert Bassnett, who was in a relationship with Ashton's ex-partner, the Liverpool Echo reports.
