A man has been jailed for life for the sexually motivated murder of a fellow prison inmate in Nottinghamshire.
"Neil Wilkinson, 29, admitted smothering cellmate Stephen Hartley, 28, with a pillow during the attack at HMP Whatton on 25 August 2008.
Wilkinson was told he must serve a minimum of 24 years in prison by the judge at Nottingham Crown Court.
In a statement, Hartley's mother said her son should never have been put in a cell with Wilkinson.
Hartley had only shared a room with his killer for two days after a cell-sharing policy was introduced at the category C prison for adult male sex offenders".
