Jonathan Peter Brooks is accused of attempting to murder fellow plastic surgeon Graeme Perks
Graeme Perks's intestines and liver were "protruding" from his body after the attack, a court heard
Mr Perks's son Henry said his father's intestines were "protruding" from his body after the attack in Halam Hill, Halam, Nottinghamshire, on 14 January 2021.The court previously heard how Mr Brooks, 58, hated the 66-year-old as he was a witness in disciplinary proceedings, which had begun three days before the stabbing.
The court heard Mr Perks made his way downstairs after being disturbed by a noise, which then led Mr Brooks to abandon the arson attempt and stab him in the abdomen.Talking about the night of the stabbing in a police interview, Henry Perks said he woke up hearing commotion."There were five or 10 litres [of fuel] easily on the floor," he said.
"Then I moved back into the hallway. My idea being self-defence. We did not know if an intruder was still in the house."He added: "My mother tried to put a rug over the petrol. My father came out, he was naked and clutching his belly."
