25 years jail over killings
A gambler who bludgeoned a Wolverhampton mother and another woman to death at a massage parlour was today jailed for life, and will spend at least 25 years in jail.
Garry Harding admitted the double murder just hours after his trial started.
He searched the internet for terms such as "throat cutting", "silent death"and "how to kill someone" before the bloody attacks, police said.
Samantha Tapper, aged 24, of Elliotts Court, Birmingham New Road, Lanesfield, and Annie Eels, 55, in a hammer attack at the Shrewsbury massage parlour where they worked on July 1. Miss Tapper, a prostitute with a daughter, 4, received at least 14 blows.
Harding, 22, of Welshpool, Powys, previously denied murder but admitted it shortly after the trial started.
