The family first met Barley after Mrs Wilkinson decided "off-the-cuff" to help him when she saw him trying to keep warm in a cardboard box while she was out shopping.
She helped him find accommodation, arranged daily meals for him where he was or at their home and her husband went on to employ him as a labourer in April last year 2016.
Mrs Wilkinson, 50, was pronounced dead at the scene, while Pierce died after being taken to hospital.
Mr Wilkinson, 47, managed to phone the emergency services after being stabbed six times and spent 11 days in hospital recovering from his wounds.
He was found in the garden of the family home with facial lacerations, dozens of deep stab wounds and ended up needing almost 100 stitches and spent six days in intensive care.
The couple's daughter Lydia, 18, was away at university at the time.
On the day of the attack, Mr Wilkinson said he was jumped on by Barley in their kitchen after he returned home from a morning dog walk.
'Energy draining from me'
Dressed all in black, Barley was brandishing a big knife over his head and started stabbing him.
As they grappled, leaving a trail of blood around the home, Mr Wilkinson was stabbed six times - twice in the face, twice in the abdomen and twice in the back.
He then heard his car being driven off their gravel drive.
It was only when he spoke to the emergency services in a chair in the garden did he realise he was "actually dying".
