A knifeman left his housemate with a horrific gaping chest wound after a 'childish' row over his financial contribution to the home.
James Greenall had been friends with Lee Cowling for years and was living with him when trouble suddenly flared over money. Things escalated and an arrangement was made to fight.
But when the pair and Lee's brother, Jake Cowling, clashed in Sunderland, Greenall ended up stabbing Lee three times with a Stanley knife, leaving him with a 30cm wound to his chest and other injuries, while Jake was also injured.
