A Romanian has been jailed for life for murdering a man in the UK three years after committing a similar killing in his homeland.
Illegal immigrant Eugeniu Neamtu, 59, was sentenced at the Old Bailey for a minimum term of 27 years on Friday, over the "strikingly similar" murder he committed three years earlier.
The construction worker was found guilty of stabbing his flatmate to death in Walthamstow, east London, on February 20.
Neamtu stabbed fellow Romanian Gheorghe Trica, 63, in the heart in almost identical circumstances to an earlier killing in his home country dating back to 2006.
On Friday, Judge Richard Marks KC jailed Neamtu at the Old Bailey for life with a minimum term of 27 years for the 2026 murder.
