17 year old Junkie stabs Grand Parents to death in their Sleep.

Lewis Dale, 17, also repeatedly stabbed his grandfather as he and his
wife lay sleeping in their bedroom. Jurors were told that the horrific
2am attack left Irene Dale, 78, dead at the scene. The jury at Hull Crown Court heard that Mrs Dale shouted 'What are you doing' to her grandson as he pierced her heart and lungs through
their duvet with a kitchen knife.

Dale, who had cut the phone lines, then left the house in a taxi,
carrying a suitcase containing a bundle of designer clothes and his
grandparents' HDTV, according to prosecutors. He later swapped the
television for five grams of party drug mephedrone - also known as
'meow meow'.
He was arrested by armed police later that day, at which point he only
had two grams of the drug left.

Dale denies attempting to murder his grandmotherand attempting to murder his
grandfather.

Adrian Strong, prosecuting, told the jury that the facts of the
killing were largely admitted, and that they would have to decide
whether or not Dale had the intention to kill.

The court heard that Dale had been taken in by his grandparents, who
let him stay at their home in the weeks leading up to the incident.

On the day of the stabbing, Dale had disappeared for three hours to
visit his drug dealer, from whom he bought 50 of mephedrone.

Mr Strong told jurors: 'The defence will claim at the time of the
attacks he was the subject of a drug-induced psychosis as a result of
him taking mephedrone.

'They will say it is a partial defence to murder. Mephedrone or M-Cat
is a relatively new drug which was known as meow meow - a legal high
until a few years ago. It is now banned.
