A Sheffield man has been sentenceed to life in prison for the murder of 44-year-old Cy Cooper in Wincobank last July.
Paul Cain, 24, of no fixed abode, was found guilty yesterday at Sheffield Crown Court.
Cain must serve a minimum of 21 years behind bars for the "cold-hearted and unprovoked killing".
Police described it as "a vicious, sustained and ferocious attack on an innocent and defenceless man."
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Stopford, the Senior Investigating Officer who led the murder investigation, said: “This was truly a devastating case and my thoughts go out to Mr Cooper’s family and friends, as Cain has caused needless pain and heartache for them.
“I can only hope the sentencing today offers them some comfort that justice has been served.”
