Sheffield man convicted over killing of Bradley Hollis earlier this year
The 35 year old was found critically injured after being stabbed on Barlow Drive in March
A man has been convicted of the manslaughter of Bradley Hollis in Sheffield earlier this year.
The 35 year old was stabbed on Barlow Drive in the early hours of March 16 and was found seriously injured by paramedics, who later pronounced him dead.
45 year old Michael James, of Barlow Drive, was later found by police hiding in an outbuilding in the Rivelin Valley area of Sheffield.
He was cleared of murder at Sheffield Crown Court today, but was convicted of manslaughter and possession of a bladed article.
He'd already admitted to assault causing actual bodily harm.
James will face sentencing tomorrow.
Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Woodward, of South Yorkshire Police, said:
"I hope the conclusion of this trial will help bring Bradley's loved ones some closure knowing that the person responsible for his death has been held accountable for his actions.
"James inflicted devastating injuries to Bradley before fleeing the scene in a cowardly attempt to avoid facing the consequences of his violent behaviour.
"My thoughts remain with Bradley's family - I hope this verdict will provide some comfort in this difficult time."
