Man jailed for Jessie J gig murder
A graphic designer was jailed for a minimum of 14 years today for killing a telephone executive with a broken bottle after a Jessie J gig.
Ashley Charles, 26, was found guilty of murdering Phillip Sherriff, 37, and jailed for life at the Old Bailey.
Mr Sherriff died in April four days after being attacked at Pulse nightclub in central London, shortly after the singer had performed.
Charles, of Nevanthon Road, Leicester, denied the charge, claiming he acted in self-defence.
But Judge Paul Worsley said Charles killed Mr Sherriff, of Preston, Lancs, because he was annoyed.
