Troy Watts was left looking "like Frankenstein's monster" after Caine Jackson, 20, slashed him from his throat to his ear with a 10-inch blade on September 21 last year. A court heard the two young men had met and and became friends in 2012 and used to go out as a foursome with their respective girlfriends. But last summer Jackson’s girlfriend Jordanne Bontoft, 18, began sending sexually-explicit text messages to Troy. He did not reply and told his partner Katie Barratt, 19, who then confronted Jordanne about the flirty messages, which suggesting they should have sex behind her boyfriend’s back. Jordanne came clean and told her boyfriend about the texts but Jackson assumed they had been sleeping together. He then stormed around Troy's house in Rugby, Warks., in a rage armed with a carving knife and attacked the painter and decorator in his home.
