Sexual fantasist gets life sentence for murder

A MUSICIAN who murdered a British teacher to fulfil a “bizarre and macabre” sexual fantasy was yesterday jailed for life.

Sexual deviant Graham Coutts, 35, was found guilty of strangling Jane Longhurst to death with a pair of tights while fulfilling his “sordid and evil” obsession with necrophilia and asphyxial sex.

Lewes Crown Court found him guilty of murdering the 31-year-old teacher and Judge Richard Brown ordered that he must serve a minimum of 30 years. He said to Coutts: “Everything that this court has heard about Jane Longhurst shows her to have been the sort of person whose life enriched all those who came into contact with her.
