Man who brutally stabbed supermarket worker in front of horrified shoppers gets sentence reduced by three years
A 30-year-old Aldi worker, Jodie Willsher, was stabbed to death in front of terrorized shoppers at a store in Skipton, North Yorkshire, a few days before Christmas 2017 by 45-year-old Neville Hord who has since been described as a "monster". It has now been reported that his minimum jail sentence has been cut down by three years.
Hord planned the knife attack for more than two weeks because he blamed Willsher for his break-up with her mother. He confessed to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison at the Bradford Crown Court in March where Judge Jonathan Durham Hall ordered that he serve a minimum of 30 years in jail.
The Daily Mail reported on October 23, however, that Hord's minimum term has been cut down to 27 years by judges who sit at the Court of Appeal in London.
