(ITV) On 15 October last year, Moroccan asylum seeker Ahmed Alid stabbed a pensioner six times in Hartlepool town centre.
Minutes earlier and armed with two knives, at around 5am, he had broken into the bedroom of his housemate and hacked at him while he slept.
The 45-year-old said he was inspired by “revenge” for the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Alid was convicted following trial of the murder of Terence Carney and attempting to murder his housemate Javed Nouri. He was also found guilty of assaulting two detectives.
He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 45 years on Friday, 17 May.
This is what happened.
