Nice friends, carrying a 30 cm knife and a screwdriver to discuss some dispute.
"He shouted at me", so I killed him out of self defense.

54 and 47.......hardly young bucks........but seemingly just as hot headed.

Where did it say that was what happened?

Don't think you can claim 'self defence' when taking  a 30cm knife to meet someone - life or 40 years.

Actually the guy said he didn't stab him.  He held the knife out and the other guy ran into it.

 

However the police say that his story does not match up with the video they have.
