New father died without ever seeing his baby after drunk and abusive 16-year-old boy he tried to escort home stabbed him to death

A father-to-be was murdered by a drunk teenager who he escorted home - robbing him of the chance to meet his newborn child.

Michael Lee Emmett, 29, walked the 16-year-old to his parents' house because he had been drinking, but the boy then stabbed him.

The teenager, who cannot be named until a judge lifts reporting restrictions, had grabbed a knife from inside the house and the 29-year-old father-of-three suffered a deep wound to his liver and died a month later in a coma in hospital.
