A 21-year-old man has been jailed for murdering a teenager in Sheffield.

Danny Parr from Rotherham has been sentenced to 23-years behind bars for stabbing 19-year-old Jamie Stuart. Parr was found guilty yesterday following a re-trial. He had previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to intimidate a witness and one count of seeking to take revenge.

The jury at the initial trial in January 2012 were unable to reach a decision.

Jamie was found on 23 July 2011 lying on the pavement in Parson Cross. He later died in the Northern General Hospital from multiple stab wounds.
