A dad and daughter laughed while carrying out a bloody ‘revenge attack’ together on a man outside a nightclub in Merseyside. CCTV footage showed Conor McQuade, 44, creeping up behind victim Lewis Reed and repeatedly stabbing him outside a nightclub in Widnes, saying ‘this is what you deserve’ while his daughter Charlotte looked on and laughed.

The attack, which took place at The Hub nightclub at around 2am on January 1, followed an allegation previously made against Mr Reed made by Charlotte McQuade in 2020. He denied the allegation and no action was taken against him, but the dad and daughter held a ‘deep-seated grudge’ against Mr Reed, a judge heard.

During the pair’s sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court today, a victim statement was read out on Mr Reed’s behalf. It said: ‘Since I was 16 Charlotte has made my life a living hell with her lies. I tried to help her back then, refusing to leave her alone in a dangerous situation under the influence of drugs, despite her having a reputation for using drugs.

‘If you listen to her, I’m a bad person, But if you know the facts, it’s easy to see it’s her, not me, in the wrong. Conor McQuade decided to listen to his daughter and instead of getting her the help she needed, twice he attacked me. This last time, he really wanted to kill me. I was simply trying to enjoy myself on a night out as I had many times before.’.
