The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) described it as a brutal attack on an innocent victim. Mills was sentenced after changing his plea to guilty. | |
David Watts, from the CPS, said: "Gavin Mills was responsible for a brutally violent attack on an innocent victim. | |
"Jerzy Dubiniec was a much loved father and grandfather who was simply going about his daily business when he was senselessly attacked. | |
"What is beyond doubt is that Mills' actions continue to have a lasting effect on Jerzy Dubiniec's family and friends. Our thoughts are with them." | |
Gwent Police Det Supt Rhiannon Kirk said they were no wiser as to the motive for the murder. | |
"This was a complex investigation and specialist officers worked tirelessly on hundreds of lines of enquiries to establish what happened the night Jerzy was killed," she said. |
