The judge told her family 'I am afraid I can't pass any sentence at all that can undo what he did'
John Jessop, who admitted the murder mum-of-two Clair Ablewhite after she was stabbed, made a "full confession to the offence" and faces life imprisonement. The question remains how long Jessop will have to serve before his case could even be considered for parole, which will be decided when he is sentenced on Friday, December 9.
Peter Joyce KC, defending, said Jessop had made "a full confession to the offence" - and pleaded guilty on the basis of a document handed to the judge. Ablewhite was fatally wounded at a property in Hall Lane, Colston Bassett, on the evening of Friday, February 25. Her body was discovered by police officers the following day. A Home Office post-mortem examination confirmed Ms Ablewhite had suffered stab wounds.
Sentencing will be on Friday, December 9. Judge Rafferty reserved the sentencing to himself having dealt with the matter throughout.
