A merciless killer has been sentenced to life behind bars over a brutal knife attack.
Patrick Sean Clayton, nicknamed as the notorious "Little Paddy", will spend a minimum of 22 years and 81 days in prison for the vicious murder of Jason Clark.
His dad, "Big Paddy", was cleared of murder after a jury concluded that it was his son who inflicted the knife wounds, as reported by Hull Live.
However, he was back at Hull Crown Court to see his son finally jailed.
"Little Paddy" murdered Mr Clark by repeatedly stabbing him during a drug-fuelled conflict.
A jury at Hull Crown Court unanimously convicted him of murder after a trial.
Clayton, 27, of Beech Close, off Coltman Street, Hull, and his father, Patrick William Clayton, 55, both denied murdering Mr Clark on March 9.
The victim was found covered with blood and with serious injuries on the landing outside their first-floor flat.
Mr Clark, 40, was later pronounced dead by ambulance crews.
The pair are said to have dragged his body head-first out of their flat.
The cause of death was multiple stab wounds to the chest, abdomen and left shoulder.
Mr Clark had been stabbed at least 15 times, with 17 wounds, including to the back and chest.
"Little Paddy" showed no emotion as the life sentence was imposed but shouted to supporters in the public gallery: "I'll ring you, yeah?"
A man shouted to him: "Love you, bro."
Clayton's father, "Big Paddy", was in the front row of the public gallery with two others but very quickly left the court and disappeared down the stairs shortly after the prison sentence was passed on his son.
