FORMER soldier Michael Furniss has been handed a life sentence for the murder of an Arnold dad.
Furniss shot Andrew Dosiuk three times in his bedroom in Laneham Avenue on Monday, November 11, last year.
Fifty-five-year-old Furniss, of no fixed address, has been given a life sentence and will serve at least 32 years and 11 months in prison.
Handing down the sentence the Honourable Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said: "He was 33 years old, it was clear that he had been shot dead in his bed at close range. There was no apparent struggle or resistance; Andrew Dosiuk was clinically executed in his bed.
"His family has lost a loved one and grieve over the brutal manner of his death."
