A man who strangled a woman during sex and left pornography near her body had 171 previous convictions, a court has been told before he was jailed for a minimum of 29 years.

Richard Bailey, 41, showed no emotion as he was sentenced at Birmingham crown court on Wednesday for the murder of Charlotte Teeling, 33. He was led away to shouts of “beast” and “scum” from the public gallery.

On Monday jurors deliberated for 85 minutes before unanimously convicting him of murder. The judge, Patrick Thomas QC, described the killing as “sexual or sadistic”.

Teeling’s body was found more than a week after her death at Bailey’s flat in Kingstanding, north of Birmingham, in February. Before the body was discovered Bailey used Teeling’s bank card to buy food, the court heard.

He claimed Teeling died accidentally during rough sex after asking to be choked. But passing sentence, Thomas said: “You told the police Charlotte asked you to squeeze her neck. Even if that were the case – and I do not accept that it was – it is manifest that she did not consent to being injured, let alone killed.

“I find that you were applying force to Charlotte’s neck for your own satisfaction, and that you covered her mouth to prevent her crying out.”

Teeling, a mother of two, sustained injuries to her neck and mouth and a bone fracture near the base of her tongue.

The judge said: “Your actions, in making use of Charlotte’s bank card after you killed her, demonstrate an extreme degree of callousness. So does the way you conducted yourself in those eight days. We know that you spent much of the following night in bars and fast-food restaurants, trying to use Charlotte’s card and occasionally succeeding.”

Before sentencing, Jonas Hankin QC, prosecuting, told the court Bailey had several convictions for assault and violence. “All of the offences of violence were perpetrated against women, and in most cases women in vulnerable situations,” the court heard.

Bailey, whose offending began in his early teens, was jailed for common assault in 2000 after punching his then partner through a cushion to avoid leaving bruises.

In 2002 he was given a 54-month sentence for robbery, and in 2006 he was jailed for affray and common assault after grabbing a woman around the throat during an argument over drugs.

Later In 2006 Bailey was given a 42-month sentence in Coventry after being classed as a “dangerous” offender for punching a woman who had already been knocked to the floor.

Birmingham crown court was told that Teeling, who had lived on the Isle of Wight and also at a women’s refuge in Worcester, met Bailey shortly after leaving a nightclub in Birmingham at about 5am on 23 February. Within six hours she was dead.

After killing Teeling, Bailey travelled to Coventry where he was reunited with a former partner.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, Teeling’s mother, Diane, said: “Time will not heal the heartache and sadness that Charlotte is no longer the life and soul of our family. It is every mother’s worst nightmare. There will always be one person missing from any family gathering.

“Not only did he take Charlotte’s life, he stripped her of dignity in death. Every day I am haunted by the panic and fear that Charlotte experienced as the life was squeezed out of her.”
