What the court heard
He was found guilty of murder and rape in Tamworth, Staffordshire, on 19 September 2019. His 20-year-old victim had trusted him as a friend when he attacked her as he walked her home from celebrating her birthday. He raped and strangled his victim before hiding her body. He was found guilty of two further counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault committed against three other victims. The judge said: "You may never be released as that will only occur if and when the Parole Board is satisfied it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public that you should be confined. Even if you are released, you will remain on licence and subject to recall for life"
