Article: Samurai sword used in 'horrible' attack

A Father could have died after being viciously stabbed with a Samurai sword during a "horrible" and "chilling" revenge attack.

The victim was repeatedly stabbed, savaged by a Staffordshire pit bull terrier and suffered a punctured lung, a court heard.

He ended up in a coma, his spleen had to be removed and his life had been "devastated", the court was told.

Daniel Knight (16), formerly of Harrington Street, Cleethorpes, but recently living in London, admitted wounding William Ferrand with intent to cause grievous bodily harm on March 23.

His father, Michael Knight (35), formerly of Harrington Street, admitted wounding John Ferrand. Chad Taylor (16), of Cleethorpes, admitted violent disorder.
