A killer who stabbed his 90-year-old neighbour to death will serve at least 30 years behind bars.
Glyndwr Wayman, 50, was found guilty of the 'brutal' murder of his elderly neighbour Nathaniel Suggitt, who was known as Terry.
West Yorkshire Police said the victim was found dead at his home in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, in October 2019.
When officers discovered him, he was on the living room floor with his trouser pockets turned out.
A number of items had been stolen from the property.
The force said Mr Suggitt died from multiple stab wounds.
Judge Simon Phillips QC sentenced Wayman to life in jail with a minimum term of 30 years on Thursday afternoon.
Wayman was also sentenced to 10 years in prison for robbing a 60-year-old woman a few weeks earlier and was told this will run concurrently.
Detective Chief Inspector Heather Whoriskey said: “Nathaniel Suggitt was brutally murdered in his home by a neighbour whom he thought he could trust.
“Wayman broke that trust and killed Mr Suggitt stealing personal items from him.
“I’m pleased with the sentence handed down today.
“I hope that today’s sentence gives Mr Suggitt’s family and friends some comfort and closure in what has been a difficult year for them."
