TEENAGER JAILED FOR MURDER AND RAPE OF ASPIRING FOOTBALLER
A teenager who raped and murdered an aspiring young footballer was jailed for a minimum of 21 years.
Megan Newton, 18, was found stabbed to death at her home in Fletcher Road, Stoke, on April 20 last year.
Joseph Trevor, a 19-year-old student, admitted to killing Megan and pleaded guilty to two additional charges of rape.
The court heard Trevor killed his former school friend after she'd offered him a place to stay following a night out in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The pair had bumped into each other in a nightclub before taking a taxi back to her address.
At some point during the night, Trevor raped Megan and applied pressure to her neck, then stabbed her in the back nine times.
Her body was later discovered by a neighbor who found her keys covered in blood nearby.
Trevor, of Danebower Road, Trentham, was sentenced to 21 years and 65 days.
