A woman is jailed for at least 21 years after murdering her neighbour in a hammer and knife attack. Both outlets report that a judge imposed a minimum sentence of 21 years, describing the attack as extremely serious and horrifying.

While details beyond the basic description of the assault are limited in the provided summaries, the articles align on the key outcome: the defendant is convicted of murder and sentenced to at least 21 years in prison. The reporting focuses on the sentencing and the judge’s assessment of the violence involved.
