A 28-year-old man, Benjamin Katabana has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years for murdering fellow resident Uchenna Okirie, 33, in their shared accommodation in Norwich.
Katabana was convicted of murder after a jury rejected his plea of guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility, following a sustained knife attack that police described as violent and unprovoked.
The attack happened on 22 November at Somerleyton House on Somerleyton Street, where Okirie was living.
CCTV showed the two men meeting in a communal corridor after Katabana allegedly lured Okirie there through WhatsApp messages. Police said Okirie appeared to be using his phone when Katabana attacked him.
