A young man stabbed his stepdad after he was told off for playing music too loud in his bedroom.
Cameron McKimmie argued with his mum and upset his little sister in a 1am row at his family's Wirral home. But when John Charles intervened there was a "scuffle" and McKimmie, 22, pulled out a four-inch blade.
He knifed his victim in the thigh, then chased him upstairs and stabbed at a bathroom door, as his stepdad hid inside. McKimmie was today spared jail, after a judge was told he was "a good young man" and it was "completely out of character".
