A cold-hearted killer who murdered his sleeping boyfriend in a jealous rage then walked away listening to music "as if he didn't have a care in the world" has been jailed for life.
Cruel and callous Aaron Ray knifed student Jason Brockbanks in his bed before gathering his belongings, washing blood from the murder weapon, putting his headphones on and calmly walking away from the scene, leaving his 24-year-old victim to slowly bleed to death.
Ray, 21, who has previous for cutting the throat and killing his family's pet cockatiel, was convicted of murder earlier this week and has now been told he must serve a minimum of 22 years of a life sentence behind bars before he has any chance of parole. As he was locked up at Newcastle Crown Court, Jason's heartbroken dad, Christopher, bravely went into the witness box to outline the impact his son's death has had and how the manner of it haunts the family.
