Bailey, who must serve a minimum of 29 years, has 171 previous convictions.<\/p>\n
Judge Patrick Thomas QC ruled that the killing was a murder involving “sadistic” conduct.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ms Teeling boarded a train from Worcester to Birmingham on 22 February, The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.<\/p>\n She contacted friends the following day saying she was okay and with a man called “Richard”.<\/p>\n But that was the last her family and friends heard from her and she was reported missing on 26 February when police discovered her debit card was being used.<\/p>\n CCTV images showed a man using the card who was later identified as Bailey, the CPS said.<\/p>\n Her half-naked body was found by police in his flat on 2 March. They also found pornography scattered near her body.<\/p>\n The jury heard Ms Teeling had suffered injuries to her neck and mouth and a bone fracture near the base of her tongue.<\/p>\n Bailey admitted meeting her and going back to his flat but claimed she wanted rough sex. He then choked her before realising that she had died and then panicked.<\/p>\n After the killing, he used her bank card and travelled to Coventry, where he tried to “worm his way” back into the life of an ex-partner, jurors were told.<\/p>\n Sentencing Bailey, who was on licence at the time, Judge Thomas said: “I find that you were applying force to Charlotte’s neck for your own satisfaction – and that you covered her mouth to prevent her crying out.”<\/p>\n The court heard a string of violent offences were committed by Bailey solely against women.<\/p>\n Using Ms Teeling’s bank card after killing her demonstrated “an extreme degree of callousness”, Judge Thomas added.<\/p>\n “We know that you spent much of the following night in bars and fast-food restaurants, trying to use Charlotte’s card and occasionally succeeding.”<\/p>\n In a victim impact statement read to the court by prosecutor Jonas Hankin QC, Miss Teeling’s mother Diane said time would not heal the heartache and sadness left by her death.<\/p>\n “It is every mother’s worst nightmare,” she said.<\/p>\n “There will always be one person missing from any family gathering.<\/p>\n “Not only did he take Charlotte’s life, he stripped her of dignity in death.<\/p>\n “Every day I am haunted by the panic and fear that Charlotte experienced as the life was squeezed out of her.”<\/p>\n Police said Ms Teeling, who had lived on the Isle of Wight and at a woman’s refuge in Worcester, met Bailey in a shop in the early hours and went to his flat at supported accommodation in Cooksey Lane.<\/p>\n Richard Bailey’s previous convictions stretched over 27 years:<\/strong><\/p>\n 2000 – Bailey was jailed for common assault after punching his then partner through a cushion to avoid leaving bruises<\/p>\n 2002 – he was sentenced to 54 months for robbery<\/p>\n 2006 – he was jailed after grabbing a woman around the throat during an argument over drugs, and later that year was classed a “dangerous” offender for punching a woman who had already been knocked to the floor<\/p>\n 2016 – he was jailed for two years and eight months for burglary and theft, meaning he was on licence at the time of Charlotte Teelings’s murder<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Richard](\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/624\/cpsprodpb\/16720\/production\/_103363919_baileypicnew.jpg\")
