An “evil” 31-year-old man who murdered an 18-year-old woman to silence her after she rejected his sexual advances and left her part-naked body in a town millpond has been told he will serve at least 23 years and four months in prison.

Lewis Haines, an oil refinery worker, forcibly removed Lily Sullivan’s top and strangled her before pushing her into the water in Pembroke, south-west Wales, hours after meeting her in a nightclub.
