A “sadistic killer” lab technician has been convicted of murdering his work colleague at his parents’ home before dumping her body in a country lane.
Ross McCullam, who had admitted manslaughter, claimed he could not be guilty of murdering 23-year-old Megan Newborough, because he acted after a loss of control inadvertently triggered by his victim.
The 30-year-old sought to blame Miss Newborough, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, claiming he went into a “blind rage” set off by undiagnosed PTSD caused by unreported childhood sexual abuse.
