A man and his daughter stabbed a man in a nightclub as an act of revenge, then laughed about it.

It was a shocking and horrific scene that played out on the streets of Merseyside, as a father and daughter were seen laughing while carrying out a brutal 'revenge attack' on a man outside a nightclub. Conor McQuade, 44, and his daughter Charlotte, 21, could be seen on CCTV footage sneaking up on victim Lewis Reed and repeatedly stabbing him outside The Hub nightclub in Widnes. It was a calculated and premeditated attack, as Conor could be heard saying "this is what you deserve" while his daughter looked on and laughed.

The incident, which took place in the early hours of New Year's Day, was the result of a deep-seated grudge that the McQuade's held against Mr. Reed. This was revealed during their sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court, where a victim statement was read on behalf of Mr. Reed. In the statement, he shared the harrowing details of how Charlotte had made his life a living hell since they were teenagers. He had tried to help her in the past, but she had a reputation for using drugs and her lies had caused him endless trouble. Despite all of this, he still tried to be a good person and refused to leave her in dangerous situations.

Unfortunately, Charlotte's lies and manipulation had caused her father to hold a deep-seated grudge against Mr. Reed. And on that fateful New Year's Eve, when Charlotte spotted Mr. Reed inside the nightclub, she immediately called her father. Armed with two knives, Conor made his way to the scene and the two of them planned the attack. When Mr. Reed stepped outside for a cigarette, Conor stabbed him repeatedly with such force that the knife went "down to the hilt." It was a vicious and unprovoked attack, with Conor telling his victim "this is what you deserve."

Mr. Reed's statement continued, revealing the devastating impact that this attack had on his life. Not only did he have to endure the physical pain of the stabbing, but he also lost his grandfather that night and wasn't able to say goodbye to the man who raised him. He struggled to carry his grandfather's coffin at the funeral, and the trauma of the attack has left a lasting impact on his life.

This was not the first time that Conor had attacked Mr. Reed. In 2023, he had also thrown a punch at him during another altercation. And while his daughter's defense lawyer tried to paint her as a vulnerable and suggestible young woman with a troubled past, the judge did not agree. He sentenced both Conor and Charlotte to prison, with Conor receiving six years and Charlotte receiving five years. A restraining order was also imposed, preventing them from contacting Mr. Reed.

As Conor and Charlotte were led away, they embraced in the docks while members of the public gallery broke down in tears and shouted words of love and support to Charlotte. This was a tragic and senseless act of violence, fueled by lies and a deep-seated grudge. And while the McQuade's may have thought they were getting revenge, all they truly accomplished was causing pain and suffering to an innocent man.
