Andrew Forbes, 39, of Crome Road, Norwich, appeared at court on January 18 to be sentenced for murdering a former friend.
Police were called to Clapham Wood, of Drayton Road, in Norwich just before 5.15am on June 22 last year. They discovered Daniel Littlewood with severe head injuries. The victim later died at the scene.
Forbes, who had previously taken class A drugs, relapsed after a worker from his accommodation, who he had become “infatuated with”, left to return to Hungary.
Mr Littlewood s murder in July last year came just months after the death of his mother.
It was something Mr Littlewood s father, Owen, touched upon in a victim impact statement read out in court during Tuesday s sentencing hearing.
He said that to say 2020 was an tough year was an understatement.
Owen said every minute of every day was now hard without his wife of 44 years and now Daniel.
He previously described how Daniel was a much-loved son and brother and how his death had come as a huge shock
It also shocked staff at Treeview Court where Mr Littlewood, who suffered mental health problems from his late teens, was living at the time of his death.
