Teen murdered 'gorgeous, fun-loving' son with Rambo knife then Googled ‘does blood wash off shoes’

A teenager who stabbed a young man to death with a Rambo knife has been jailed for a minimum of 19 years.

After killing Keagan Crimes, 27, mobile phone data showed Noel Reade desperately googled how to remove blood from clothes.

The 17-year-old was found guilty of murder in January after a four-week trial

He can now be named for the first time after reporting restrictions were lifted.

Reade pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon earlier on during the trial.

His victim, Keagan Crimes, 27, described as a "gorgeous fun-loving son", suffered a fatal wound to his chest.

Chester Crown Court heard how Reade, who was aged 16 at the time, was in Cheviot Square, in Winsford, on the evening of October 11 2020.

He was armed with a weapon, believed to be a Rambo knife, and was with four other teens.

The group were seeking out two men - one of whom was Keagan - who were inside the Premier Store.

The court heard Reade believed the pair were part of another group they were feuding with.

CCTV showed that as the men attempted to leave the shop, Reade and his group ran towards the premises to gain entry.

Reade - along with others - was then seen armed with the Rambo knife, kicking, banging and pushing at the door.

Eventually, the group gained access, causing the two men to escape via a stock room door.

Reade and his associates later encountered another group - containing Keagan and Jason McQuoid.

While some fled, the court heard how the teen remained, brandishing the knife towards the group

A fight then broke out - during which Keagan sustained a deep stab wound to the upper chest area.

Jason McQuoid attempted to use a tree branch
