Former Countdown champion 'stabbed rival at tournament'
Lancashire Evening Post
|September 11, 2025
A man heard “growling” moments before he was allegedly stabbed by a Countdown champion at a fan club tournament, a jury has heard.
John Cowen, 31, is said to have to run across a room with a knife in his hand and lunged across a table to attack rival Thomas Carey.
Prosecutor Rosalind Scott Bell said the incident took place on September 14 last year at a gathering of the Focal Countdown Group where former contestants on the Channel 4 TV quiz show and fans meet to play each other.
