Man stabs long lost friend 7 times!!

[Lisa]

UK man who traced his long-lost best mate via Friends Reuinted, then stabbed him seven times in a drunken rage because he thought he had attacked his sister, was jailed for three years today at the Old Bailey, Reuters reports.

 

Noel Duff was lucky to survive the assault by Brendan Walsh during which he received a stab wound to the heart. The catalyst for the fracas was Duff's relationship with Walsh's sister subsequent to the two pals' doubtless tearful reunion.

 

Immediately after the attack, Walsh suffered a fit of remorse and called an ambulance which rushed Duff to hospital. Doctors described his survival as a "miracle".

 

Walsh pleaded guilty to to wounding with intent, and was cleared of attempted murder. The judge told him: "The victim is no longer angry at you and the remarkable fact is that [he] even gave evidence on your behalf and said he would like to be friends with you again."

 

Duff has indeed expressed the wish to be re-reunited with his old mucker after the latter finishes his spell in one of Her Majesty's penal institutions, noting: "I can't believe a stupid fight came to this." ®

And I was thinking of getting in touch with a couple of old friends on the Friends Reunited site... They might have second thoughts now

One out of million meetups ended in a death, I'm suprised it hasn't been used for idiots to seek out those they hated at school before this.

 

Still it's safer than using public transport or crossing roads.

On a lighter note - my mums' friend (shes in her 50s) went on that a few wks ago and the 1st person she found was this guy she had a crush on at school - she inncoently mailed him jsut coz she wanted to meet up, he was ok mailing back til she told him her husband had died and he got the wrong end of the stick thinking she wanted to get it on with him - he mailed her back sorry he was married and didnt wanna meet up
