A man who repeatedly stabbed another man to death has been jailed
Michael Pickering, 31, of Coverham Avenue, Oldham was sentenced at Manchester Crown Square yesterday, 1 February, to life imprisonment and will serve a minimum term of 36 years after being found guilty of the murder of Jonathan Herd.
The court heard how in the early hours of 30 July 2017, Pickering entered Jonathan’s flat on Lees New Road, Oldham armed with a knife.
Pickering then proceeded to stab and beat him repeatedly before grabbing several items from the flat.
A police spokesperson said: “This was a horrific attack on an innocent man whose life was taken away from him for the sake of an X-Box and a few DVDs.”
