A man murdered his partner and neighbour and tried to kill his son in an unprovoked and “frenzied” attack after taking cocaine on Christmas Day, a court has heard.

Jazwell Brown, 49, fatally stabbed Joanne Pearson, 38, with a kitchen knife and beat her with a baseball bat in their flat in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, before doing the same to 18-year-old Jake Brown, who survived the incident, Luton Crown Court heard.
