NORWICH MAN JAILED FOR LIFE IN DOUBLE MURDER SPREE
A violent attack took place near Norwich on 31 October 2009, when John Moody, a 45-year-old resident of Kerrison Avenue, inflicted 20 stab wounds on his former partner and her companion.
Moody entered the home of Kenneth Snell, age 65, and attacked Karen Brown, aged 39, and Mr.
Snell himself.
Although he initially denied killing the two victims, Moody later admitted to manslaughter, citing diminished responsibility.
However, at Norwich Crown Court, a jury quickly reached a verdict of guilty on both counts after only two hours of deliberation.
The court rejected suggestions that Moody was under an abnormal mental state during the assaults.
He was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 30 years before parole consideration.
