Nathaniel Wardle stabbing: Bid launched to get sentences increased for teens convicted over dad's knife death

A bid has been launched to get the teenager who stabbed loving dad Nathaniel Wardle to death locked up for longer.

Mohammed Rabani, 19, was jailed for 12 years and six months after being convicted of manslaughter and possession of a knife following the dad-of-four's death in Wallsend. He was found not guilty of murder after a trial at Newcastle Crown Court.

Rabani's co-accused Robbie Battista, 18, was found not guilty of both murder and manslaughter but admitted being in possession of a knife at the scene and was handed a suspended sentence.
