A drunken man repeatedly stabbed a stranger with a kitchen knife after a row broke out at a beach themed party.
Gareth Parr, 19, and his uncle Frankie Parr, 33, appeared before Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday (November 16) to be sentenced for the attack at the Vine Tavern pub on Elephant Lane in St Helens. The court heard how both men were drunk at the pub, where a beach themed party was being held on the evening of August 6 this year, and families were present.
Gareth Parr had to be warned about his behaviour before the decision was made not to serve him any more alcohol. The 19-year-old left the pub and returned a short time later armed with a long kitchen knife concealed in his clothing.
