Julian Evans KC and Eloise Emanuel prosecute hunting knife killer jailed for single stab murder.
A man who used an eight-inch hunting knife to defend his ex-partner during a confrontation has been jailed for life for murder.
Frederico Saurini, 51, stabbed Kameron Campbell, 26, at a house in Bedford last August before claiming he only tried to frighten him.
Saurini, who was watching television in another room, pulled a hunting knife from a drawer when the argument between the woman and Mr Campbell spilled out into the garden, the court heard. He stabbed Mr Campbell once in the chest, with prosecutor Julian Evans KC describing the degree of force as "towards the severe end of the scale".
He was sentenced at the Old Bailey and will serve a minimum of 14 years.
