"A Muslim convert was found carrying an axe through the streets to confront his Christian father over 'religious differences', a court heard.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Clayton McKenna was taking the weapon – which he got from his mother’s shed – through Boldon Colliery in the early hours of the morning, to his father’s home in South Tyneside on July 18.

The 22-year-old gave a series of 'confused and contradictory' explanations when he was stopped by the police, including saying he was on his way to his father’s 'to ask him to bow down to me' – a statement he now rejects.

McKenna made initial claims that he had intended to use violence against his dad because of their different religious beliefs but also said he did not want to hurt or injure anyone and had the weapon for his own protection."
