Family of mum-of-two killed, stripped naked and dumped in wheelie bin tell court of their heartache as man jailed
The family of a mum-of-two who was killed, stripped naked then dumped in a wheelie bin and left there for 12 days by a man whose advances she rejected told a court of their enduring heartbreak, saying she was 'treated like rubbish'.
Metcalfe was convicted of manslaughter and preventing a lawful burial earlier this year. On Tuesday, he was jailed for 17 years by a judge who told him he had 'refused to tell the truth' about how Terri died.Despite the guilty verdicts, Terri's family are still at a loss as to what happened to her in the Harehills area of Leeds. Due to her body not being found for almost two weeks, a pathologist could not determine her cause of death.
"It has shattered our family and left us with wounds that will never truly heal...Sitting in the courtroom every day having to listen to how she was found will never leave me. The thought of what she went through and how she was treated like rubbish. She was a human being. His Honour Judge Robin Mairs said Metcalfe had "chosen to lie" despite knowing "very well how Terri Jordan died." He said: "Your concern from first to last was for yourself."
