A COWARDLY killer spent two days living in the home of the woman he murdered after leaving her to bleed to death for hours.
Wayne Morris launched a “ferocious” attack on his partner Ruth Brown at her home in Collyer Avenue, Bognor.
The 47-year-old binman repeatedly struck her with a plastic tray which shattered in pieces which were covered in blood, Brighton Crown Court heard.
He cleaned up the crime scene and moved her body from her kitchen into her bed where she was put face down.
Then he spent a day going to the shops, drinking cider and smoking cannabis before ordering himself a takeaway.
