'Sadistic killer' who murdered workmate at parent's home and dumped body jailed for LIFE

A "sadistic killer" lab technician who throttled and cut the throat of a female work colleague has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years.

Ross McCullam, who had admitted manslaughter before his trial but denied murder, was convicted in little more than 90 minutes by a jury at Leicester Crown Court on Monday.

He was jailed at the same court on Friday in front of more than 20 family members of 23-year-old HR worker Megan Newborough, by Judge Philip Head who described the killing as a "truly dreadful" crime.
