A ‘sadistic’ lab technician who killed a colleague in a ‘blind rage’ is facing life behind bars after being convicted of murder.

Ross McCullam, 30, killed Megan Newborough at his parents’ home in Coalville, Leicestershire, before dumping her body in a country lane.

McCullam admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming he suffered a ‘loss of control’ which he blamed on his victim.

But he failed to convince jurors at Leicester Crown Court who unanimously convicted him of murder after deliberating for around 90 minutes.
