Judge finds man murdered teenager in sexual 'frustration'

A judge has found that a man murdered an 18-year-old woman after becoming sexually "frustrated".

Lewis Haines strangled Lily Sullivan in the early hours of December 17 last year after meeting her at Out nightclub in Pembroke. Her body was later found topless in the Mill Pond freshwater reservoir, Swansea Crown Court heard.

Haines denied the murder was sexually motivated but Judge Paul Thomas QC said the 31-year-old father was "fuelled by drink" when he attacked Lily after she "resisted", forcibly removing her crop top and strangling her. He could face a minimum term of 30 years in prison when he is sentenced on Friday.
