A 17-year-old has been sentenced to six years for the manslaughter of 42-year-old Joseph Cullimore. The shocking attack happened in Flaxen Road, E4, in the early hours of August 17 last year.
Deadly Stab Wounds Found at Scene
Police rushed to the address at around 4:40am and found Mr Cullimore with fatal stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene just before 5:30am. A post-mortem revealed a fatal stab wound to his torso as the cause of death.
Youth Arrested and Admits to Attack
The teen, then 16, was arrested at the scene. He knew Mr Cullimore but no clear motive for the stabbing has ever emerged. He was charged the following day after admitting the savage assault at Southwark Crown Court on May 2.
