A ‘disgusting’ man who murdered a grandmother in her own home has been jailed for life and 'may die in custody'.

Richard Shaw, 48, of Derby Road must serve a minimum of 30 years behind bars for the murder of 63-year-old Lorraine Mills.

He had previously been handed a life sentence before he was released 17 years later. 

Speaking to Shaw during his sentencing at Winchester Crown Court, Mrs Justice Johannah Cutts DBE said: "You are highly unlikely to be released and may die in custody."

Lorraine’s body was found at her home address on Mansel Road East, Southampton at around 8.30pm on November 21.

Her daughter Natalie told Shaw ‘nothing can and ever will fully describe the horror that you've brought upon us’.

In a statement read out in court today, she said: “You have destroyed my life and that of so many other people.

“Your disgusting actions will not break us, but the opposite. She will live on through us."
