The former head boy who became a killer

At the age of 18, Benjamin Moglione was a young man whose life was full of promise. The cello playing only child of Alison Moglione, a programme lead in children's services at Liverpool City Council, he had everything he could wish for.

Since his mother first met her future husband Andrew McDiarmid, Benjamin had come to know the former Merseyside Police detective as someone he could trust. "You're a father to me," the lad would write in Father's Day and Christmas cards.

For many years they lived happily as a unit of three in their dream home on a leafy suburban street in Heswall, Wirral. His mum and stepdad's professional careers had allowed them to see the world, enjoying cruises and family holidays together.

But Benjamin - apparently in a psychotic state following one of his many seizures - would launch a frenzied, fatal knife attack on the former detective.
