A MAN who strangled a teenaged girl during a sick sex game before stashing her body in a wardrobe which he wrapped with clingfilm has been found guilty of murder.
A six-man six-woman jury considered the evidence against 24-year-old Ashley Foster for six-and-a-half hours before returning their unanimous verdict at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
Foster, of no fixed address, had denied murdering 17-year-old Megan Bills, from Stourbridge, at the hostel where he was staying in Highgate Road, Dudley, just three days after he was released from a nine-month prison sentence.
The trial was told that what may have begun as consensual sex between Foster and the teenager (pictured below) ended in violent sex attack.
