'Homophobic' murder

>>Watch the report

Two men have been jailed for a minimum of 28 years for the homophobic killing of barman Jody Dobrowski on Clapham Common in south London - the first time a judge has used the murderers' homophobia to determine sentence.

One of the men had been convicted of assaulting and threatening to kill his mother and had served a third of his 15-month sentence before being released. The licence for that crime expired the day before the murder.

The judge said it was likely both of the men would have to serve more than 28 years before being considered for parole. Lucy Manning reports.
