Killer of Claughton man Graham McKenna loses appeal against 25-year prison sentence
The schoolboy was stabbed 12 times but miraculously pulled through.
Finlay then went on the run, living rough in Liverpool city centre, before handing himself into police six weeks later.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Finlay, of Alexandra Road, Oxton, had chillingly warned friends of his plans “to get” the McKenna family.
Finlay’s hatred towards them grew after his wife – the sister of Mr McKenna’s widow Gill – left with their two children following years of domestic abuse.
After the hearing, Mrs McKenna said: “I am just so relieved.
“I do not know what I would have done if the court had taken some years off after what he did to my family.”
