A woman who bludgeoned her neighbour to death with a garden spade has been sentenced to life in prison.
Debby Foxwell had a visceral hatred for Louise Lotz - a hoarder she blamed for her inability to sell her home in Welwyn Garden City, the court heard.
She killed her after an argument in what Judge Kay described as a shocking and senseless attack.
The 41-year-old must serve a minimum of 21 years in prison.
Foxwell denied murder but had admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility. She was convicted of murder by a jury at St Albans Crown Court in February last year.
