A father and his 14-year-old son have been jailed for life for stabbing a man to death in a pub.
The father and son will serve at least 33 years between them
"You led your son into situations of terrifying aggressions rather than leading him away."
Judge Brian Barker
Harry Farrant and his father Jason Michael, 39, from Barking, east London, were sentenced after causing chaos in two London pubs.
They attacked 45-year-old Daniel Leahy at the Victoria pub, in Barking, as he argued with Michael on April 13, the Old Bailey heard.
The victim died after being stabbed in the heart - an eight-inch knife was left embedded in his body up to the hilt.
He was also jabbed in the back three times with a bayonet.
Evidence suggested Farrant, who used to regularly go to pubs with his dad because his burly frame made him look older, inflicted the fatal blow.
David Murphy, 49, had tried to intervene but was stabbed in the head.
