Qusai Abdalla knifed his victim, a man in his 40s, in the head, chest and arm during the horror on September 29, last year. The callous 26-year-old later told the same associate he carried out the stabbing over an unpaid £20 debt, said Lancashire Police. Appearing at Preston Crown Court today, the victim said the "betrayal has cut even deeper than the physical wounds" because he thought Abdalla was a friend. Det Con Emily Armitage said: "This was a cowardly attack which could have easily resulted in a man losing his life... all over a £20 debt.
