Lodger, 24, jailed for life after decapitating pub landlord, 44

A lodger who stabbed to death and mutilated a pub landlord for sadistic gratification and to humiliate his victim has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years. The mutilated body of Scott Gilhooly, 44, was discovered at the Swiss Bell pub in Braintree, Essex, on May 17 last year. His friend and heavy drinker Lawrence Bourke, 24, was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Friday after previously pleading guilty to murder. Despite his heavy drinking the landlord put up with Bourke s behaviour and they lived together through the first coronavirus lockdown. (Pictured, Laurence Bourke) Prosecutor Andrew Jackson told the court that Bourke attacked the landlord with a knife and axe, and dismembered his body to humiliate him.
