A son who stabbed his loving parents 284 times before trying to flee the country slandered them in court to try and save his skin.
Lee Tipping was convicted of murdering Anthony Tipping and Patricia Livesey at Preston Crown Court June 30. The jury heard the 36-year-old then drove miles from his home in Higher Walton, Lancashire, to Liverpool John Lennon Airport but was unable to board a flight due to covid restrictions.

He said: "In your evidence you said your father was a bully and you did not feel supported by your mother.
