Opposition chief acquitted of instigating perjury
The 20-year-old son of a rich English jeweler was sentenced to at least 16 years in prison Tuesday for strangling his 17-year-old girlfriend.
Elliot Turner was convicted Monday of the murder of Emily Longley, a model from New Zealand, The Daily Telegraph reported.
His parents, Leigh and Anita Turner of Bournemouth, were found guilty of perverting the course of justice for allegedly trying to cover up their son's actions.
During the sentencing in Winchester Crown Court, Mrs. Justice Linda Dobbs had harsh words for Turner, saying he had "deprived a large tight-knit family of a daughter, granddaughter and sister."
"Loving someone is not seeking to control that person's life, not telling someone they are a whore, not telling friends to threaten them and not slagging them off to friends," Dobbs said. "You did not love her -- she was just a trophy. The relationship, if that's what it can be called, was all about you."
Turner persisted in showing "arrogance" and "lack of remorse" into the trial, Dobbs said.
At one point, when Dobbs said the killing was premeditated, Turner appeared to mouth and expletive, "Bull-----."
The judge postponed sentencing for Turner's parents but warned them they could face prison. (UPI)
부호 아들, 10대 모델 여자친구 살해
영국의 유명 보석상의 아들이 10대 여자친구를 목 졸라 숨지게 한 혐의로 최소 징역 16년을 선고 받았다.
앨리엇 터너(20)는 지난 월요일(현지시각) 뉴질랜드 출신 모델 애밀리 롱리를 살해한 혐의로 유죄가 확정되었으며 가해자의 부모 또한 아들의 사건을 은닉하려 범죄사실을 왜곡한 혐의를 받고 있다.
윈체스터 크라운 법원에서 열린 재판에서 판사 린다 돕스는 격양된 어조로 터너에게 “단란한 가정에 불행을 가져왔다”고 말했다.
“누군가를 사랑한다는 것은 상대방의 삶을 조정하려는 것이 아니며 그를 욕하고, 친구들로부터 떼어놓는 것이 아니다. 당신은 여자친구를 사랑하지 않았다. 그녀는 그저 관상용 애인이었을 뿐이다. 이 관계는 모두 당신 위주였다”라고 비판을 서슴지 않았다.
판사는 터너가 오만한 태도를 일관하며 재판에 임했고 뉘우치는 모습을 보이지 않았다고 말했다.
또한 터너는 판사가 이 살인이 사전에 계획된 것이라고 말하자 욕설을 내뱉었다.
