A knifeman who stabbed a young father in the heart as he was on his way to see his newborn son has been jailed for life at the Old Bailey.
Amateur boxer John 'King' Abbey, 26, was with his three-year-old daughter when he was attacked at a bus stop by Charles Acquaah in January.
Acquaah, 22, of Greenside Road, Croydon, was told he would have to serve a minimum of 15 years in jail after being found guilty of murder.
Mr Abbey died an hour after the attack at the Mayday Hospital in Croydon, south London - where in a "terrible irony" his partner had given birth earlier that day.
Judge Stephen Kramer told Acquaah: "You armed yourself with a knife in case you saw him. You put it up your left sleeve.
"On January 29, you took out the knife and deliberately stabbed him in the chest and through the heart."
The murder left Mr Abbey's children without a father, said the judge.
The judge said he was satisfied that the two men had been friends who arrived in Britain from Ghana and then fallen out.
Mr Abbey's partner Natra Abokar, 29, said in a statement she feared for the future of the son born on the day of his father's death.
Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said outside court that it was a "sad and shocking case", describing the killer as "heartless and spiteful".
