Horror when mother comes out of the shower and discovers that her son has killed her husband

A heartbroken mother whose only son brutally stabbed her "defenceless" husband to death as he lay in bed with Covid has begged a judge to "give my son back to me".

Benjamin Moglione, 23, stabbed his stepfather, former Detective Inspector Andrew McDiarmid, 17 times with a kitchen knife at the family home on Merseyside.

He was charged with murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter midway through a trial at Liverpool Crown Court, saying he was suffering from post-ictal psychosis resulting from an epileptic seizure at the time of the killing.
