U.K.
A Macclesfield dad of three has been jailed for life for brutally murdering his 60-year-old flatmate after learning he was a convicted paedophile.
Ex-butcher [Ed: I'd say that he's a "current" butcher] Lea Mason, 33, formerly of Turnock Street, will serve a minimum of 17 and a half years after launching a "violent and frenzied attack" on his victim.
Mason used knives to stab, and a frying pan to bludgeon, Darren Presley – until they bent or broke – then stamped on his head, which left "huge gaping holes" and soaked the killer’s trainers in blood, a judge heard.
Mason and co-defendant Stephen Brian Kidd, 37, originally from Stoke, both pleaded guilty to murder at Preston Crown Court and were sentenced last Thursday (January 22).
Mason was a thug well-known to police in Macclesfield through a string of violent offences stretching back 15 years.
He admitted the murder after being captured by police in Blackpool.
