A man has been jailed for murdering a good samaritan in Manchester.
19-year-old Tony Robertson of Atlow Drive in Wythenshawe admitted killing Lee Knott on 22nd September last year.
It happened after Mr. Knott had offered shelter in his van to a couple who Robertson was abusing. As Mr. Knott walked away Robertson followed him and, catching up with him on Royal Oak Road in Wythenshawe, stabbed him repeatedly. Mr Knott was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later.
Today after pleading guilty to murder and threatening a person with a blade/ sharply pointed item in a public place, Robertson was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to life imprisonment, with a minimum of 20 years.
