A WARPED killer who murdered a popular pub landlord in a horrifying attack has been jailed for life. Crazed drunk Lawrence Bourke decapitated Scott Gilhooly with an axe before mutilating his body in his own flat at the Swiss Bell pub in Mountbatten Road, Braintree. After his arrest, the 24-year-old made jokes to the police before starting to laugh. Mr Gilhooly, 44, had taken in Bourke and was allowing him to live in the flat with him above the pub. Bourke had a history of heavy drinking and had left his family home, having been taken in by Mr Gilhooly in 2019.
