Killed ex over Facebook status change
A British man has been sentenced to life after a court found him guilty of killing his partner over a Facebook comment.
Brian
Lewis, 31, was convicted of murdering mother of four Hayley Jones, 26,
whom he had been romantically involved with. As their relationship
spiraled downwards, Jones started frequenting social networking sites
and socializing. When Lewis found out that Jones had changed her
Facebook status to 'single' he attacked Jones and stabbed her to death.
Lewis argued that he did not plan to kill Jones, and that he acted in a
crime of passion. The judge also concluded Lewis had been "frustrated,
angry and hurt," but sentenced him to life anyway. However, he will be
eligible for parole in 14 years.
