Live updates as killer who met victim in nightclub then left her body in reservoir is sentenced
A man in his 30s murdered an 18-year-old girl he'd seen in a nightclub - and then dumped her body in a reservoir.
Swansea Crown Court heard that Lewis Haines had spotted teen Lily Sullivan while on a night out in Pembroke - but been told "she's far too young for you" and was reminded by a friend that he had a girlfriend.
The 31-year-old was later seen walking with Ms Sullivan towards Mill Pond - a dark and secluded freshwater reservoir in the town - at 1.58am on December 17 last year.
A woman who lived near the area then recalled hearing a loud scream early that morning - and Haines was later seen in the area acting "strangely" with his head in his hands. Ms Sullivan's body was later found topless in the water - with a post mortem revealing she had been strangled.
The court heard that Haines returned home to his partner and hysterically told her: "I've strangled somebody, they're in the Mill Pond."
