A KILLER who stabbed a man to death and then tried to behead him launched a desperate bid to cover his tracks. Matthew Jones murdered 39-year-old William Phelan in his victim's own home in Harpurhey, north Manchester.
After the sickening attack, Jones left Mr.Phelan's body, and deliberately broke a key in the lock to the front door to hinder anyone trying to enter the flat. It was six weeks before the alarm was raised and Mr Phelan's body was discovered, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Prosecutors were unable to gentle kindhe Alan Co say exactly when the killing occurred, only that it was some time in January 2018. Jones, 45, went on trial accused of murder in 2021 and was found guilty.
