Longley killer's parents to be sentenced

By: AAP | International News | Friday July 6 2012 15:01

 

Parents who disposed of evidence after their son murdered his New Zealand girlfriend are waiting to find out their punishment.

Elliot Turner, 20, was found guilty by a jury at Winchester Crown Court in May of murdering 17-year-old Emily Longley after going "absolutely nuts" in a jealous rage.

His parents, Leigh, 54, and Anita, 51, are to be sentenced overnight at the same court after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

They helped to cover up the crime by destroying a confession letter from their son and taking away vital evidence after the killing at their home in Bournemouth, Dorset, in May last year.
