Plumber's mum gave him a lift home then he stabbed her with sword

Blackpool man David Clayton also punched, strangled and bit his mother after telling her he wanted to kill her during a brutal attack at her own home. Mrs Clayton eventually managed to break free when a neighbour called round.

They eventually managed to get him into bed but a while later, after Mr Smart had gone home, Clayton came back downstairs and left the house. He then returned and after banging on the door for entry, was let in and launched the savage attack. Clayton repeatedly punched his mum and spat in her face as well as strangling her, leaving her fearing for her life. He let her go but only to take a sword from the wall which he unsheathed and used to stab the woman in her chest.

Defending, Christopher Hudson said that Clayton was supported by his mum who hoped to see him let out of prison as soon as possible and he hoped to get out to see his own children. He said the 40-year-old had previously been addicted to cocaine and had replaced that with heavy drinking but is now clean from alcohol as well.
