A man who strangled a teenager and left her in a reservoir after she refused to have sex with him has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years and four months.
Lewis Haines, 31, murdered 18-year-old Lily Sullivan after he met her inside a nightclub in Pembroke, south-west Wales, just before Christmas last year. The pair had kissed after meeting in the Out club on December 16 and later went to a nearby alleyway together where they became more intimate.
Swansea Crown Court was told Miss Sullivan was later found face down and topless in Mill Pond, a two-mile-long freshwater reservoir near the town. After murdering the teenager, Haines walked past his victim's mother as she waited to pick her daughter up from a nearby garage.
