A former FedEx driver has been jailed for 27 years after stabbing his manager to death.
Ronald Sekanjako, 49, of Bellhouse Road, attacked Philip David Woodcock at the FedEx depot in Rother Way, Hellaby, after he was told he was under investigation at work.
Sekanjako was called to a meeting in November 2022 following concerns about pay. He became aggravated and when Philip tried to calm the situation, he stabbed him in the chest three times.
Philip was sadly pronounced dead at the scene due to a stab wound to his heart.
Sekanjako appeared in Sheffield Crown Court where he was found guilty of murder, assault causing bodily harm and three counts of possession of an offensive weapon.
Detective Inspector Simon Cartwright said: “I am pleased that Sekanjako has been handed a significant jail term today which will see him spend a large portion of his life behind bars.
“No one should ever go to work and not come home. Sekanjako took Philip’s future and plans for retirement away from him and all who loved him.”
Along with the weapon used to murder Philip, Sekanjako was found with a second concealed knife as well as a hammer that he had hidden in his sock.
Detective Cartwright added: “Knife crime continues to take too many lives across the country, and it has to stop.
“As a force, we remain intent on tackling knife crime, and we will continue to take robust action against those found to be carrying knives. I would urge anyone who has concerns that someone they know may be carrying a knife to reach out to us – we will support you.”
