A judge who told him he had shown “nothing but self-pity from beginning to end”
A skydiving instructor who strangled his girlfriend in her home has been jailed for a minimum of 19 years by a judge who told him he had shown “nothing but self-pity from beginning to end”. Ashley Kemp, 55, was given a life sentence on Wednesday for the murder of mother-of-three Clair Armstrong, 50, who was also a skydiving instructor and owned a beauty salon.
The judge said: “I have no hesitation in concluding, so that I am sure, that you intended to kill.” He described the “undoubted terror” Ms Armstrong must have felt as the defendant headbutted her and then strangled her, saying “she was undoubtedly fighting for her life”. The judge said: “No sentence I impose can give the sons of Clair their mother back. No sentence I impose can undo what you, Kemp, have done.”
Kemp, of Robinson Grove, Hibaldstow, North Lincolnshire, showed no emotion as he sat in the glass-fronted dock wearing a grey suit, white shirt and purple tie. He listened as Ms Armstrong’s brother-in-law, Ian Farrell, read an impact statement on behalf of her “siblings and sons”.
