Murderous Matthew Stevens is facing a lengthy spell behind bars after making every woman's worst nightmare come horrifically true.
When his victim met him in a Newcastle city centre bar, it was through mutual friends and they ended up swapping numbers and initially got on well. But even when they ended up being asked to leave due to arguing, there was no hint of the savagery that was soon to follow.
The woman, who was drunk, told him she just wanted to go home to Gateshead but he took her in a taxi and told her she could stay at his. CCTV captured them walking together through the streets of Brunswick Village, Newcastle, towards his home, with no obvious tension between them.
