Man who stuck knife into housemate's throat and pulled it across 'had told him it would end badly'

His victim could feel blood pouring out of the wound and, the judge said, no doubt had an “apprehension of death and thought he was going to die”.

A Kerry resident who slit his house mate's throat in a random attack has been jailed for seven years.

Paul Lestrange (aged 40) told his victim to write a will prior to the unprovoked assault and after cutting the man's throat with a bread knife told him: “I told you it would end badly.”
