A son who stabbed his mum and dad 284 times in their home shouted and interrupted from the dock as witnesses spoke of their horror.
Brothers, sisters, friends and family kept a dignified silence as lawyers, police officers and medical experts outlined the graphic details of a night of bloody violence at the family home in Cann Bridge Street, Higher Walton. Some stepped into the witness box to talk of the loving couple Anthony Tipping, 60, and Patricia Livesey, 56, and the struggles they had with their mentally ill son Lee.
The now convicted killer, Lee Tipping sat in the dock of Preston Crown Court wearing designer sweatshirts, with price tags of up to £800 while shouting and interrupting when he did not agree with what witnesses had to say. When it was his turn to take the stand, the 36-year-old told a tale of pity, saying his father had bullied him all his life, LancsLive reports.
