Man Stabbed Repeatedly By "Long Lost Best Friend" - Wants To Stay Friends

<snip>

A BRITISH man has been jailed for repeatedly stabbing a long lost best friend he had traced via the Friends Reunited website, and the victim still wants to be mates.

Brendan Walsh, 27, nearly killed Noel Duff when he stabbed him seven times in a drunken rage because he mistakenly believed his friend had attacked his sister, Karen, whom Mr Duff had started dating.

However, Walsh immediately became full of remorse and called an ambulance.

Mr Duff was rushed to a hospital where doctors said it was a miracle he had survived a stab wound to the heart.

Walsh, who was sentenced to three years in jail by London's Old Bailey after pleading guilty to wounding with intent, had been a close friend with Mr Duff at school and had met up with him again via the website, later introducing him to his sister.
