A prisoner who beat his cellmate to death with a flat screen television has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the “frenzied, one-sided attack”.

Jordan Palmer assaulted Terry Ojuederie, 42, from Watford, in their cell at HMP Peterborough on December 9 last year.

He was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility at Peterborough Crown Court on Wednesday, following a two-and-a-half week trial.

At the sentencing today, the judge took into account the fact that Palmer was already serving a six-year stretch when imposing the sentence, which will run concurrently.
