SWANSEA MAN JASON FARRELL CONVICTED OF MURDER OF GIRLFRIEND SAMMY-LEE LODWIG
A man whose girlfriend was found stabbed to death at his home has been found guilty of her murder.
Sammy-Lee Lodwig, 22, was found with cuts to her throat and forehead and wounds to her chest at Jason Farrell's flat on Carlton Terrace in Swansea on 23 April.
The 49-year-old, who said he could not remember killing her, had admitted manslaughter but denied murder.
He told Swansea Crown Court he had been "confused" after taking drugs.
Farrell, who had also dated his victim's mother Sarah, was also convicted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to a man called Christopher Maher.
The jury was told he had suspected Mr Maher of being Sarah Lodwig's new lover, before attacking him in the street.
The court was told Farrell had a string of convictions dating back to 1988 for crimes including wounding, possession of offensive weapons and supplying drugs.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on Friday.
Her family now know her killer has been brought to justice.
