A Sikh optician, Naunihal Singh (54) was arrested for slitting his daughter-in-law's father, Ujjal Singh's (63) throat after a drunken row.
It is said that during the row about his daughter not having children, Ujjal Singh had accused his son-in-law, Yawinder-Pal “Monty” of “firing blanks”.
It is said that as Ujjal Singh lay in bed, Naunihal Singh sat at the kitchen table drinking vodka before taking a kitchen knife from a drawer. He went into the bedroom, grabbed Ujjal Singh's jaw and slit his throat.
Naunihal Singh pleaded guilty at Manchester Crown Court and was jailed for at least 17 years and 39 days.
