Andrew Hall, 58, allegedly attacked 75-year-old Geoffrey Ives with a vegetable knife.
Geoffrey was found days later 'slumped' in front of the sofa in his flat in Heywood, a court heard.
Mr Hall then got a taxi to Middleton where he is accused of 'smashing' the conservatory doors of his ex-partner Julie Proctor, before threatening to kill her five children who were in the house at the time.
He was wrestled to the ground by her 22-year-old son, Jack Dunleavy, it was said.
Mr Hall, of Heywood, denies murdering Mr Ives and is facing trial at Minshull Street Crown r Court.
Prosecutors said that Mr Ives was in a relationship with Mr Hall's mother but the two men had a good relationship, with Mr Hall often staying at Mr Ives flat.
"Therefore, the motive for the defendant killing Mr Ives is not entirely clear, but the Crown says that you will see such evidence of the defendant's pent-up anger and frustration for much of the night. Mr Ives did not have to do much wrong by the defendant to be at the wrong end of his dangerous Rob temper," Hall, prosecuting, said.
