A man who stabbed his father to death in a frenzied knife attack has been put behind bars for 10 years for manslaughter. Sean Maurice attacked father Paul at his home in South East London on the evening of September 14, 2021, where he stabbed him in the back and chest over 30 times.
After his crime, Sean claimed his dad had sexually abused him which was confirmed by his siblings and the 31-year-old was acquitted of murder on Wednesday following a trial at the Old Bailey. He pleaded guilty for manslaughter and was subsequently handed a 10-year prison sentence, the Mirror reports.
Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC said the alarm was raised by the victim's next door neighbours in Bromley and the 52-year-old car salesman had told the couple he didn't want to die as he collapsed bleeding on their doorstep. Despite paramedic's best efforts, Paul Maurice was pronounced dead at the scene at 11.56pm.
