A killer who left a nightclub following a fight, armed himself with a knife and then stabbed his victim five times when another row broke out, has been jailed for nine years by a judge at the Central Criminal Court.
Mr Justice Paul Burns handed down the sentence to Nathan O'Neill who produced a knife during a fight with two unarmed men and stabbed Jamie Higgins to death.
O'Neill has previous convictions for making a threat to kill and for possession of a knife. In a victim impact statement, Jamie's sister Leanne had told the court that O'Neill had not just killed one person but the whole family.
