Man jailed for killing dad, 52, in knife attack
Paul Maurice, 52, was stabbed to death by his son Sean Maurice, 31, on 14 September 2021A man has been jailed for 10 years for killing his father in a frenzied knife attack in Bromley, south-east London.Afterwards, his son, Sean Maurice, claimed his 52-year-old father had sexually abused him.Following his conviction, prosecutor William Elmyn Jones KC suggested the victim had been a "dreadful father".
In mitigation, it was said on Maurice's behalf that he had "borne the brunt" of his father's mistreatment but still wished he had not killed him. Outlining the facts earlier, Mr Emlyn Jones said the alarm was raised by the victim's next-door neighbours.The couple found him slumped on their doorstep, saying his son had attacked him, the court was told.
As he was being treated by emergency services, a police officer asked him who was responsible and he replied: "Sean."Following a brief manhunt, his son was found a few hours later, running through back gardens nearby. The court heard he told officers: "I've got nothing to lose. You lot are trying to arrest me because I beat up my dad who abused me, he raped me... and you want to arrest me?"The defendant admitted manslaughter, claiming he lost control after a confrontation with his father.
