Drug addict jailed for at least 19 years after murdering ‘kind’ father-of-three
A drug addict who “shamelessly exploited” the generosity of a father-of-three has been jailed for a minimum of 19 years for his murder.
Ian Connell, 39, strangled Donald ‘Prentice’ Patience, 45, in a “fit of rage” after his victim refused to give him more money to feed his heroin and crack cocaine habit.
The decomposing body of Mr Patience, known to family and friends as Prent, was discovered inside a duvet cover at the bottom, Greater Manchester.
