Killer jailed
A killer who straggled his Highton girlfriend to death before leaving her body in an alleyway in Melbourne’s Chinatown could be eligible for parole in 13 and a half years.
Phillip Island man Christopher Allen Bell, 34, was jailed for 21 years after pleading guilty to murdering Natalina Angok.
During sentencing last week the Supreme Court heard Bell had an extensive history of violence against women before murdering Ms Angok.
