Two women have been jailed for 26 years after murdering their vulnerable neighbour Stephen Koszyczarski.
Nicola Lethbridge, 45, and Zoe Rider, 36, targeted Stephen and attacked him at his home in Fraser Drive, Sheffield, accusing him of being a paedophile, taunting and mutilating him before inflicting a fatal head injury. The sick pair even filmed some of the horrific attack, reports YorkshireLive.
As they appeared in the dock at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday (June 4), prosecutor Andrew O'Byrne read out a statement from Stephen's former partner and friend of 38 years, Mary Jones.

She said: "I keep expecting him to come for a chat then I remember he can't. He's had his life taken from him. It's painful to watch the video taken of him - that was not Stephen. He was not a n****. Stephen was kind and gentle.
"The impact it has had on me in my own home is unbearable. It has made me nervous and paranoid every time I hear noises. I have problems going to sleep...It's heartbreaking I won't see him again. I cry most days and nights. He was a special man. He would help anyone and had a heart of gold. Why have they murdered him when he should still be alive, enjoying his life? Since he was taken from me I look at his photograph - he's smiling in that photo. I will love Stephen and miss him from the rest of my life."
The court heard both Rider and Lethbridge had previous convictions on their records. Rider - who sported Rosary beads around her neck - was the subject of a suspended sentence at the time of Stephen's murder.
