A nan told her son "you're a divvy" after he stabbed her in the heart, a jury was told today.
Jamie Dempsey is currently standing trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of murdering his mother Karen, having knifed her in the chest while fighting with another man over a £2,000 drug debt outside the Brambles pub in Kirkby. The 32-year-old was called to give evidence from the witness box today, Thursday.
During his tearful testimony, he claimed he had previously been subjected to death threats from Brian Flynn - who was also stabbed at least five times during the incident in summer last year, suffering injuries including a punctured lung - over the unpaid cocaine money. Dempsey also turned to his family in the public gallery and told them he was "proper sorry" at one stage.
