A “coward” chased a man he wrongly suspected of smashing his mother’s window down an alleyway then cornered him and stabbed him to death. Jamie Scott Mitchell, 25, has been convicted of murder after running from his mother’s home carrying a kitchen knife and confronting Steven Wilkinson then plunging the weapon into his body.
Killer Mitchell had been at his mother’s home when he heard a window smash and went out to try and find the person responsible. He claimed he only intended to scare them, NorthWalesLive reports.
He came across Mr Wilkinson – who had nothing to do with the window being broken – on waste ground during the incident on October 4 last year. A jury at Mold Crown Court heard Mitchell chased Mr Wilkinson into a blocked alleyway at the Jubilee Court complex in Buckley, Flintshire.
