A Lincolnshire man stabbed and beat his friend to death after becoming convinced he had stolen from him. Nicholas Ward, 38, of Eton Street, Grantham, carried out the brutal assault on Tony McDermott at his shared house during the early hours of October 14, 2023, after a night of drinking and taking drugs.
Ward believed that his friend had stolen his work tablet as well as another electronic tablet used by his daughter. A witness reported hearing Ward shout at Mr McDermott during the assault, saying that he would lose his job if his work tablet was not returned to him.
Despite Mr McDermott repeatedly denying taking the devices, Ward brutally attacked his friend for around two hours, leaving him with multiple stab and slash wounds and other injuries all over his body. Mr McDermott died at the scene and the tablets were later recovered by the police in a bag belonging to Ward.
