The mother of a teenage girl who was murdered by her abusive boyfriend has said she is 'serving a life sentence of her own' as she branded her daughter's killer a 'twisted animal' saying that he 'took two lives' the day he killed his pregnant girlfriend.
Jayden Parkinson, 17, was strangled to death by her abusive partner Ben Blakeley, now 30, who buried her in his uncle's grave after she told him she was pregnant in December 2013.
Then 22, he regularly beat Jayden and in the month leading up to her death, had threatened to post dozens of naked pictures and videos of her online which were taken without her consent.
