A dad accused of murdering a burglar said he heard someone shout “shoot him” minutes before stabbing Jordan Brophy in the neck.
Karl Townsend also told jurors in his trial he was “slashed out” at by Jordan Brophy before he stabbed him when he found him in his house. Townsend and his half-brother Jamie Cunningham are on trial for the murder of Mr Brophy.
Mr Brophy was one of three men who broke into Townsend’s Halewood home on October 29. A Ring doorbell notification alerted Townsend, who was at his mother’s home, to the break in and he went to the Beechwood Avenue house with Cunningham.
