Andrew Palfreman stabbed Barry MacLachlan to death at a block of flats in Glasgow.
He then sent a series of photographs of the victim which were described by his own lawyer as being "despicable".Appeal judges Lady Dorrian, Lord Matthews and Lord Woolman quashed Lord Summer's sentence at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh.
Lord Summers said he "acknowledged" that Palfreman struggled with poor mental health in his sentencing statement. Palfreman also said there had apparently been a row about a dog, which the court heard was called Yogi. "I also consider that your attitude after the crime is concerning. You appear to have gloated over the death of Barry MacLachlan.
She also concluded that there was no evidence that his mental health had been affected at the time of the assault. Lady Dorrian said: "The respondent is hardly entitled to credit for the fact that he 'did not run away', having gone to bed instead of seeking help, despite hearing the deceased crying for help, and waiting for four hours before calling an ambulance.
