A convicted killer has been jailed for 18 months after threatening his neighbours with a meat cleaver when they laughed at him falling over. <\/p>\n

Karl Drummond, 47, of Abertridwr, near Caerphilly, South Wales, flew into a fit of rage after tumbling off his deckchair whilst sunbathing in June, to the amusement of his neighbours.<\/p>\n

Cardiff Crown Court heard that the angry man did not see the funny side as he pulled out a meat cleaver, threatened them for laughing and he said he was "going to go crazy."<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Nik Strobl said: "He began to rant and started to wave a knife around. A few of his neighbours went over to talk to him to calm him down whilst others called the police."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drummond warned his neighbours that they "would all die together" and he "would happily burn the estate down".<\/p>\n

The thug was arrested by police and he appeared at Cardiff Crown Court to admit affray.<\/p>\n

Jailing Drummond for 18 months, Judge Michael Fitton KC told Drummond: "This was an ugly incident.<\/p>\n

"You were drunk and you were making threats with knives in both your hands which would have been terrifying for anybody hearing it.'<\/p>\n

"Your record of previous convictions, which no doubt makes you notorious, would have added to the impact of that."<\/p>\n

Drummond was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison after being charged for manslaughter of a drug dealer, back in 2010. <\/p>\n

The victim Tony Singh, 24, who was the father of a young child, was found dead after being struck multiple times with a metal bar.<\/p>\n

The case took two trials to reach a verdict, with the pair serving almost 600 days in jail before sentencing was passed – a factor that meant this time was counted into Drummond's sentence.<\/p>\n

In total he served five of his 10 year sentence in prison before serving the remainder of the sentence on license.<\/p>\n
