A heroin addict who broke the neck of a 100-year-old holocaust survivor when he mugged her on the street has been jailed for 15 years over her death.

Artur Waszkiewicz, 40, was convicted of manslaughter and robbery on Feb. 14 for attacking Sofija Kaczan as she took her regular stroll down the street near her home in Derby, England. He pushed her from behind, stole her handbag and left her bruised and bleeding on the sidewalk.
