An Asian man who killed his BNP activist neighbour in a dispute has been jailed for eight years.
Habib Khan, 50, of Stoke-on-Trent, was convicted in May of the manslaughter of 52-year-old Keith Brown who he stabbed with a kitchen knife in July 2007.
Khan's son, Kazir Saddique, was sentenced to a year in prison and a year on licence after admitting the unlawful wounding of Mr Brown's son.
Khan said Philippine rebel talks reach deal ...
Where is mother? ...
Angry questions ...
Bush concludes farewell tour of Europe ... that living next door to Mr Brown for five years had been "hell".
Khan, of Uttoxeter Road, Normancot, maintained he had held a knife against Mr Brown "to scare him" when he saw him trying to strangle his other son Azir.
'Thorough and impartial'
Twenty-four-year-old Azir was found not guilty of attacking Mr Brown's son, Ashley Barker, at the trial at Stafford Crown Court.
The jury found Khan guilty of wounding Mr Barker during the incident outside his home in Meir.
After Khan's trial, Michael Coleman, a BNP councillor on Stoke-on-Trent City Council, claimed Khan should have been convicted of murder and accused the justice system of being corrupt.
But Staffordshire Police said the investigation into Mr Brown's death had been carried out in a "thorough and impartial" way.
Mohammed Gulzar, chairman of the Ghalani Noor Mosque in Stoke-on-Trent, described Khan as a respected, religious and helpful person.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Brown died of a single stab wound.
