A British man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a court in Finland after he axed a 75-year-old man to death.
Garo Jlitakryan, 32, admitted lashing out at his victim, who has not been named, with an axe at least six times on July 29, 2024, in the victim's home town of Seinäjoki.
Jlitakryan had travelled to Finland by bike as part of a charity fundraising event and said he met the elderly man by chance at a spa.
The pair subsequently went back to the man's apartment, where London-based Jlitakryan stayed the night.
The Briton hacked his host to death with an axe he had strapped to his bike the next morning as the pensioner lay in his bed.
