Labourer jailed for life after murdering site foreman

A labourer who killed a site foreman on the London construction site they were working at together has been sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 22 years.

Elton Sefa (pictured above), 24, of no fixed address, was found guilty of murdering 47-year-old John Woodward in 2018 at the conclusion of a trial at the Old Bailey on 29 June.
