A34 closed | 30 year old man murdered after traffic light "altercation"

Was this boy racers gone wrong..I blame the fast n furious crap.
 
It will most likely be murder. If you mean to stab someone, , you usually mean to cause them serious harm/GBH. That's enough for a murder conviction.

The difference being that this guy took a knife after a "loss of self-control" from the kitchen. He wasn't armed already (which seems to be the case at this stage, unless he took it from the victim).

I don't believe that this guy in your link actually had a credible defence, but I'm guessing that the circumstances of family members getting involved to batter him all added up to them giving more respect to that argument than it deserved. A single stab wound supports that argument too.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of murder though. In vast majority of similar cases, a murder conviction sticks.

I agree with you. Just surprised me that he got manslaughter for that, given he‘s picked up the knife from the restaurant.
