A skydiving instructor who murdered his partner by strangling her during an altercation at her home has been jailed
. Ashley Kemp, 55, confessed to killing mother-of-three Clair Armstrong and was handed a 19-year prison sentence.
He was jailed at a sentencing hearing before Hull Crown Court. Judge John Thackray KC told him: "You committed the offence in the home of Clair, a place where she was entitled to feel safe and secure." "I do not accept that you are genuinely remorseful," he said. "During your evidence, I detected nothing but self-pity from beginning to end."
Top news stories today The relationship between Kemp and Ms Armstrong had become 'strained' but there had been significant periods of healthiness and love with their future together being discussed. There had been no history of domestic violence from Kemp towards her or previous partners, the court heard.
Ms Armstrong was discovered dead under a duvet on a bed at her home as Kemp was later found on a grass verge off the road after his vehicle crashed in to, as he claimed, a tree. He was arrested on suspicion of murder and asked: "Who have I murdered?" CCTV showed Kemp leaving her home at 9.16am on the Saturday with "very clear injuries to his face" even though he had told police during interview that his injuries were from a collision in which he tried to kill himself.
