Kids' heartbreak after drunk mum knifed dad to death in fit of rage as they played Fortnite
TWO traumatised kids have revealed their heartbreak after their drunk mum knifed their dad to death in a fit of rage as they played Fortnite.
In a moving victim impact statement, her daughter Charley said her mum was "not a bad woman", and she "just has a lot of issues" she needed to sort out."This was a tragic accident that never should have happened.Despite Welsh saying that she couldn't remember the fatal stabbing, Charley described clinging on to the hope that one day she would eventually be able to recall details, "even if for me and my brother".
"You were both drinking heavily and consuming cannabis, and as a result of those substances you would argue and at times those arguments could turn violent."In my judgement, you exaggerated the extent of the violence Martin used towards you. Despite accepting that she now regrets the spontaneous decision, Judge Durran ruled she nevertheless intended to cause him grievous bodily harm when she did it.Jurors heard that earlier that evening, Kyle Welsh messaged his sister and her boyfriend saying: "Things kicking off. How do I avoid it even with my music on?"Giving evidence, he broke down in tears as he told the court: "I heard my dad shout: 'She has stabbed me,' but it was like a groaning tone.
