Man jailed for life after 'brutal and cowardly' murder of teenage girlfriend
An Essex man has been given a life sentence in prison after stabbing his teenage girlfriend to death in a "brutal and cowardly" attack.Jack Sepple, 23, stabbed Ashley Wadsworth, 19, more than 90 times on February 1 in the flat they shared in Chelmsford, after hearing of her plans to move back to her home country of Canada.
The judge sentenced Sepple, of Tennyson Road in Chelmsford, to a life prison sentence with a minimum term of 23 years and six months, which he must serve before he can be considered for parole. "He strangled and repeatedly stabbed Ashley and left her in the bed that they shared while he went about his daily business," he said.When police forced entry to their home, they found Sepple on a video call to his sister "as he showed her the body", according to the prosecuting barrister.
The prosecution counsel said Ms Wadsworth had injuries to her wrists, consistent with being defensive, and there were "in excess of 90 , all to the chest area". Mr Spence said Sepple has a "clear history of violent and controlling behaviour towards female partners".
