Strangling death case man jailed

A MAN who strangled a woman to death while they had sex has been jailed for six years.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard Chloe Miazek, 20, died as a result of Mark Bruce’s actions at an Aberdeen flat on November 3 2017.

The 32-year-old handed himself in to police within hours of the offence and admitted his guilt before judge Lord Kinclaven in March.

Bruce’s lawyer said the former carer accepted he did not get consent from his victim to choke her. Defence QC Brian McConnachie said Bruce accepted responsibility for his victim’s death but did not intend for her to die.

Sentencing Bruce to six years in prison for culpable homicide, Lord Kinclaven said: “There’s no alternative to a significant custodial sentence.”
