Man jailed for life after woman found murdered in bin

A man has today, (Tuesday 19 May), been jailed for killing a woman and dumping her body in a wheelie bin in a bid to cover his tracks. Matthew Cherrington, aged 32 of no fixed address, beat diminutive Lidia Pascale to death and then discarded her lifeless 4ft 11ins body in a wheelie bin just one street away from his home. He then sold her phone in a West Bromwich shop before buying a pot of paint with the cash to cover up blood splatters in his flat after efforts to clean up failed.
