A man from Romania, previously convicted of murder in his home country, has been jailed for life in the UK after killing another man in circumstances described as "strikingly similar" to his earlier crime. The case has drawn attention to how his history was handled after he arrived in Britain, and raises questions about monitoring of individuals with serious violent convictions abroad who later settle in the UK.

Beyond the headline details, the article text supplied does not include the specific facts of the case, such as the victim's identity, the location and date of the killing, the court involved, or the minimum term set by the judge. Daily Mail Online's report confirms only that the perpetrator, a convicted Romanian murderer, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the UK for a second killing bearing close resemblance to the offence committed in Romania.
