A plastic surgeon who donned full camouflage gear before breaking into a colleague's £1m home in the middle of the night and stabbing him has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years.
Jurors heard Jonathan Peter Brooks, 61, attacked fellow plastic surgeon Graeme Perks after the victim took part in long-running disciplinary proceedings at the NHS Trust they both worked for.
The father-of-four had been filmed leaving his home in the middle of the night with his bicycle before he travelled a mile to his 'hated' colleague's home armed with a crowbar, cans of petrol, matches and a knife.
After smashing his way in through the conservatory, Brooks poured petrol around the foot of the staircase of the country house before he was confronted by a naked Mr Perks, who had been woken by the sound of smashing glass.
Jurors heard the father-of-four used the knife on Mr Perks - leaving the one-time president of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons with his 'guts sticking out'.
