1/1 A volatile and controlling man has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years behind bars after murdering a woman in Bradford, trying to burn her body and then burying it in a shallow grave. Dale Tarbox strangled Susan Howells, 51, at a house in Independent Street, Little Horton, before he and Keith Wadsworth transported her remains to a caravan park at Station Road, Doncaster. Tarbox was convicted of Miss Howells’ murder after a trial at Leeds Crown Court. He chose not to attend the sentencing hearing today in front of the Recorder of Leeds, Judge Guy Kearl QC.
