Robert Lyn, has been jailed for life after he murdered Daniel Campbell who was allegedly sleeping with his girlfriend Stephanie Slade.
Robert brutally stabbed to death Daniel after discovering he was having an affair with his girlfriend through Facebook.
Lynn stabbed Mr Campbell seven times in the neck and a further 13 times in the stomach. The court heard that he had not suffered any defensive wounds and was probably asleep at the time of the attack.
Lyn bought a set of three knives from the Aldi store and took one of them with him when he went to Mr Campbell's flat at about 7pm that night.
A neighbour described him as looking 'possessed' and as he kicked at the flat door he shouted: 'I know you're in there, let me show you what a real man is.'
The Honourable Mr Justice Coulson sentenced Lyn, to life imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the murder and said he would have to serve a minimum of 26 years in jail before being considered for release.
Lyn almost collapsed in the dock as the judge passed sentence on him and his barrister conceded that his client could die in prison or be a very old man when he was released.
The court described the death of Mr Campbell as 'wholly needless and pointless' and suggested that circumstances had combined with Lyn's personality traits to cause the 'terrible explosion of violence'.
