A deli worker who murdered a staff member from the business next door after a row over sausage rolls jokingly told a neighbour 'I will see you in 15 years' before he handed himself in to the police. Doorbell footage captured Alder Willis, 68, making the joke after he stabbed Andrew Darn, 35, in the rib cage outside a shop on the Tyne Tunnel Estate in North Tyneside in March. Newcastle Crown Court also heard he contacted a friend to tell them he wouldn't be going to Benidorm on a planned holiday anymore. Willis, who denied murder and having a bladed article, was today sentenced to life behind bars with a minimum term of 18 years. The Deli Sandwich Shop employee Willis had 'long standing' tension with Mr Darn, who worked at Easy Access Garage Doors, dating back to 2010, the court was told.

Prosecutors claim 'long standing antagonism' between workers at two neighbouring firms at the Tyne Tunnel Industrial Estate in North Tyneside started in 2010, with a dispute about parking. Newcastle Crown Court heard the saga ended in tragedy when Alder Willis, 68, who worked at The Deli Sandwich Shop, fatally stabbed Andrew Darn (left), 35, who was employed at Easy Access Garage Doors, on March 27. Willis, of Alanville, Camperdown, North Tyneside, denies murder and is being tried by a jury. Prosecutor Francis Fitzgibbon KC told the court the build up to the final confrontation started the day before, on March 26, when a worker at the Garage Door company threw some food out for seagulls and hit an employee from The Deli.
