Sentence

Life imprisonment with minimum term of 18 years

Bovic Mupolo stabbed Macaulay Byrne during a fight in the car park of the Gypsy Queen pub in Beighton, Sheffield, on Boxing Day 2021. The incident erupted suddenly near the pub door, possibly sparked by a racial slur or provocation. Mupolo used a knife he was carrying, inflicting a fatal wound. Byrne entered the pub, collapsed, and was taken to Sheffield Northern General Hospital where he died. Mupolo stayed briefly at the scene before fleeing with friend Layton Morris, who was acquitted of assisting an offender. They changed clothes and went to Sheffield city centre. Witnesses, including the pub landlady Susan Campbell, described the bloody scene and chaos.

Found guilty of murder following a trial. The judge noted the attack was not pre-meditated but erupted in a moment, with intent to cause really serious injury. There was an element of provocation, possibly a racial slur, but it does not justify the actions.
