It came after he threatened Liam Connor with the weapon in upsetting scenes late last year after a sick knife attack.

It's not yet known what Mason's return will entail and if it's just a brief comeback.
Mason's conviction relied on the testimonies of Liam and school pal Dylan Wilson, who was cajoled into bullying him too by Mason, as well as helping to conceal the knife.
Dylan sharing the truth about seeing Mason with the knife in his written testimony ultimately swung the court case.
In emotional scenes, the families of both teens were relieved and further elation came when the judge revealed Mason had been found guilty.
