Jordan Miller sentenced over drug-induced murder of Emerald Wardle

TRAGEDY: Emerald Wardle was killed at a home at Metford in June, 2020.

Jordan Miller, the young man who brutally murdered his teenage girlfriend while he was in a drug-induced psychosis near Maitland, has been sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in jail.

The now 22-year-old was convicted of murder earlier this year for strangling 18-year-old Emerald Wardle at a home in Metford in 2020, telling police after his arrest he believed she was a "demon" and that either he or she had to die.
