A drunken worker stabbed a fellow Polish national to death when asked to leave the building the older victim was renovating.
Dawid Wycik, 28, (pic.top) was convicted of murdering 67 year-old Czeslaw Swiatkowski (pic.bottom) and sentenced to life imprisonment.
An Inner London Crown Court judge ordered him to serve a minimum of seventeen years before he can be paroled.
Detective Inspector Brett Hagen, of the Specialist Crime Command, said: "Wycik violently assaulted his work colleague in a drunken rage after he was politely asked to leave a property the victim had been renovating.
“He begins a lengthy prison sentence for his actions that night when he stabbed Czeslaw as he lay prone on the floor.”
Police were called to a residential address in Mount Pleasant Lane, Clapton, east London at 11.29pm on Friday, January 24, following reports of a disturbance.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended.
Swiatkowski was found inside the property, suffering from stab injuries.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, he was declared dead a short time later.
Wycik was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and was charged the following day.
A post-mortem examination gave cause of death as a stab wound to the abdomen.
