The 30-year-old 'embarked immediately upon a series of deliberate actions carefully calculated and executed to cover up' the murder of Megan Newborough, the court heard.
A man has been found guilty of murdering a colleague who he strangled and stabbed weeks after they had begun a relationship.
He drove away, disposing of her phone in undergrowth before dumping her body over a stone wall into an overgrown area of countryside close to the village of Woodhouse Eaves.He took a taxi home and arrived back soon before his parents returned.He had previously admitted manslaughter but denied it was murder, claiming he acted out of"blind rage" after remembering sexual abuse from his childhood, which triggered a moment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder .
The court heard how McCullam searched the internet for pornography and looked up details of serial killers in the hours after disposing of Ms Newborough's body. Detective Inspector Jenni Heggs from Leicestershire Police said:"I genuinely believe having investigated this from the offset that Ross enjoyed killing Megan.
