The deadly fight took place in a flat in Seinajoki, western Finland, on July 29, last year, reports Finnish newspaper Iltalehti. A court previously heard how the elderly victim invited the cyclist back to his home after the pair met at a spa a day earlier. The Brit was bought a phone by his new friend as they made their way back to the flat, according to local reports. He later told investigators the pensioner said he "owed him a favour" after opening up the present. The cyclist refused but claimed he believed the man was referring to sexual acts. South Ostrobothnia District Court was then told the Brit took a short nap but when he woke up he "was tied up with bandages" and "couldn't move properly". The Brit alleged he was raped on the bed after waking up. Jlitakryan pleaded guilty to manslaughter, Southern Finland Newspapers reports, but cops found no evidence of illicit substances or materials that the pensioner victim could use to restrain the aggressor. Investigators also said the man was attacked as he was lying in bed, with crime scene images showing blood splattered up the walls. Prosecutors insisted on a 10-year sentence for the Brit after jurors found him to be culpable of murder, the news site added. The judge in the South Ostrobothnia court gave him 12 years today. Early on in the trial, Jlitakryan said he had been on a charity ride across Europe for the Help for Heroes charity. When he completed the bike ride, the Londoner said he met the pensioner at a spa in the town of Kauhava. He claimed the old man invited him back to his home and offered him work. Jlitakryan said in the trial: "He told me that if I helped him, he could give me sexual favours, but I didn't want sexual favours. I just wanted to rest and charge my phone. "We ate lunch together, which tasted terrible, then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was tied with bandages, I couldn't move properly. "He then committed sexual acts on me and I couldn't escape. The ordeal was horrible. When it was over, he rolled next to me. "Then he started snoring and I decided to escape. I went to the kitchen and cut my ties there."
