The son who stabbed his father in the back at their Felixstowe home has been given an extra year in jail after admitting possessing indecent images of children.

Daniel Eacott, formerly of Queens Road, Felixstowe, appeared via video link from Norwich prison to plead guilty to three charges relating to the indecent images, at Ipswich Magistrates' Court, last Tuesday.

He chose not to be represented and offered no mitigation to magistrates, who heard police visited Eacott at his home after the National Crime Agency received information about indecent images and the IP address of an email account was traced.

In total, police discovered 33 images of the most serious kind - category A - along with 38 at category B and 126 category C images.

Eacott, 33, was jailed to five years and four months, at Ipswich Crown Court in March for stabbing his father in the back with a steak knife on October 14, 2020.
