A lab technician has been convicted of murdering a colleague at his parents' home in Leicestershire before dumping her body in a country lane.

Ross McCullam, who had admitted manslaughter, claimed he could not be guilty of murdering 23-year-old Megan Newborough, because he acted after a loss of control inadvertently triggered by his victim.
