Man charged with murder after 'local hero' is found stabbed to death

A local hero thought of as like the loveable actor Walter Matthau was allegedly stabbed to death in his home by a youth he took on fishing trips to keep out of trouble.

Volunteer youth worker Bert Allanson, 71, died on Saturday in a suspected botched robbery at his home in Birkenhead on Wirral.

He left his home shortly before 10pm on Friday to collect some birthday cake from a neighbour’s house but made the fatal mistake of leaving a door unlocked.

Dean Brennan, 20, is alleged to have sneaked in through the unlocked door and during an altercation knifed ‘community spirited’ Bert to death.
