A man who carried out the brutal machete murder of dad-of-three from Gainsborough was jailed for a minimum of 28 years on Friday.
Kieran Walker, 23, from Doncaster, attacked Jordan O’Brien, 25, in Scampton Way in Gainsborough on March 27 with such force that he almost severed one leg and left the other leg so badly damaged it had to be amputated at the knee. He later died in hospital.
Walker had denied the killing but destroyed his own carefully constructed defence when he blurted out from the witness box during his trial last month that he was the attacker.
