    The son of a UN official has been sent to prison for life - for murdering a 70-year-old who'd given him shelter at his Auckland apartment

    The son of a UN official has been sent to prison for life - for murdering a 70-year-old who'd given him shelter at his Auckland apartment


    Sergio Frederico Williams stabbed Herbert Bradley - when he tried to kick him out for overstaying his welcome.

    The victim had early stage dementia and approached Williams with the knife.

    Williams overpowered him, then stabbed him three times.

    His defence's claim of self-defence landed on deaf ears with the jury.

    He must serve at least 10 years before applying for parole.
