Liam Fosbrook repeatedly stabbed Dylan Towers after confronting him outside his sibling's home in Stockport.

A man has been jailed for the 'completely unnecessary' killing of his sister's 'nuisance' ex-partner after he turned up uninvited at her home.

A re-trial on the manslaughter charge began at the end of February this year and following a two-week he was found guilty on March 8. Following those breaches, and an alleged assault on her, Mr Towers was made the subject of a domestic violence protection order, which was due to run out on December 16. The prosecution said he was "clearly a nuisance, but he was not dangerous".

A police officer said when they attended there were several kitchen knives with different coloured handles laid out in 'three separate locations' in the living room which 'indicated deliberate placing.' However, she said she rejected suggestions from the defence that Mr Towers had tried to enter the property. "The back door was completely undamaged," she said. "You lost patience with Dylan Towers and chose to go and confront him."
