ABUSE Poppi Worthington
A MAN used a family row to plot the kidnap, rape and killing of two women he was obsessed with, a court heard.
STRANGLED Megan, 17 A BEAST obsessed with snuff films who murdered a girl and hid her body in a clingfilmwrapped wardrobe was jailed for life yesterday.
Ex-con Ashley Foster, 24, strangled Megan Bills, 17, in his bail hostel room on Easter Sunday last year – three days after leaving prison.
He used a fan to hide the smell after stashing her corpse and left her to decompose for three weeks in the room in Brierley Hill, West Mids.
Foster, of no fixed address, had admitted preventing Megan’s decent and lawful burial. At Wolverhampton crown court, he was convicted of murder and got a minimum 26 years. Judge James Burbidge QC told him his conduct was “beyond belief”, adding: “You not only failed to ring the authorities, you bundled her body in a curtain and placed her body in a wardrobe.”
Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield said: “Foster had an unnatural obsession with deviant sexual activity and disposed of Megan’s young life to satisfy his twisted desires.”
