A man has been locked up for 24 years after trying to murder his ex-girlfriend by stabbing her 31 times in just two minutes infront of their seven-year-old son.
Chris Blakemore, 33, had gone round uninvited to his ex-girlfriend's house on October 13, 2019, and flew into an angry rage after discovering a condom wrapper in her bathroom bin.
In his fury the 6ft 6ins Middlesbrough man picked up a chopping knife and launched a frenzied attack.
