A musician obsessed with serial killers was acting out his warped fantasies when he brutally murdered 18-year-old Bobbi-Anne McLeod, a court heard. Cody Ackland, 24, searched for terms including "Ted Bundy", "Golden State Killer", "Ukrainian serial killer dead bodies", "Fred West", days before murdering Bobbi.
The details of his search history, including a fascination with serial killers, in particular Ted Bundy, emerged during the sentencing hearing of Ackland, 24, at Plymouth Crown Court.
In April Ackland pleaded guilty to a single charge of murder after the 18-year-old student was found dead in Bovisand. The court heard he confessed to killing Bobbi-Anne before dumping her body, and he then told police where they could find her.
