Prostitute killed client, 75, for life savings
A teenage prostitute who murdered her 75-year-old client to steal his life savings, has been jailed for life.
Faye Thorneycroft, bound Anthony Shelley in his Stafford home and fed him a cocktail of drugs before wrapping tape over his mouth and nose, causing him to suffocate.
Jailing her at Birmingham Crown Court, Mr Justice Goldring told Thorneycroft, of Craddock Street, Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton, that she was a "very dangerous woman".
He added: "You have been convicted of murder on the plainest of evidence.
"I have no doubt that you planned to kill Mr Shelley in order to steal his life savings. You are a pathological liar. I have come to the view you are a dangerous young woman."
