HUNT FOR NEW LEADER Man jailed for killing neighbour
A new Sheffield City Council administration has been agreed, with a collaboration between Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.
A 27-year-old man who killed his next-door neighbour has been jailed for nine years.
In January 2021, emergency services responded to calls from South Road in High Green, Sheffield, and when they arrived the victim, 45-year-old Lee Phillips, was found with extensive head injuries. He sadly died as he was being taken to hospital.
Cllr Tom Hunt has been named Leader of the Council and Cllr Fran Belbin will be Deputy Leader, both from the Labour Party. Hunt said ““We will ensure politics in Sheffield is conducted to the highest standards in an open, transparent way. It’s time to get to work, and to deliver for our brilliant city.” There are 8 policy committees plus a Finance Committee, and chairs for these were also confirmed at an Annual General Meeting on 17 May.
Temporary Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson, who led the investigation, said: “Today marks the conclusion of a lengthy criminal investigation and trial process that has lasted over two years, and my thoughts are with Mr Phillips’ family and loved ones today. “No sentence passed can lessen the pain and grief of losing a loved one in such violent circumstances, though I hope that knowing Parr will now spend time behind bars offers them some sense of closure. “I continue to ask that Mr Phillip’s family’s privacy is respected at this time.” William Parr (pictured), formerly of Hall Park Head, Sheffield, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday 18 May where he was sentenced. He was found guilty of manslaughter earlier this year, following a trial.
