What the court heard
He was found guilty of murder in Cardiff, South Wales, on 21 July 2019. He used a knife to attack his 21-year-old victim following an argument after his victim spilled his drink at a nightclub earlier that evening. The court heard that he has since been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The judge said: "You had taken a knife with you that night... You pulled the knife from your pocket without ever disclosing you had it... he fell to the ground and died in his brothers arms... no sentence I can pass will bring back the life you took"
