Woman beaten to death by satanist

Sex offender Richard Cullen throttled and battered a young mother to death after she derided his favourite character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a court heard today.

Former devil worshipper Cullen, 44, of Swansea, South Wales, snapped when Elizabeth Sims-Rees, 21, called him a "nonce" for "fancying" the evil vampire Drucila.

Cullen and the young mother were watching the programme at his Gwilfa Road home when she made the fatal remark, Swansea Crown Court heard today.

An incensed Cullen, who admitted he once sacrificed dogs in rituals because their name spelt God backwards, then had sex with her dead body.

Prosecutor James Jenkins said the woman's comment "triggered a determined bout of violence towards her culminating in her death."

He said Cullen taped her hands at the wrists and then attacked her head with a rubber mallet with such violence he made five holes in it.

Finding her still alive despite the ferocious attack, he then throttled her with a shirt tightened round her neck using the mallet for leverage.

"He took a shirt to use as a ligature around her neck, putting his foot on her back and tightening the tourniquet until she was dead," Mr Jenkins said.

Cullen, who made a full confession after giving himself up to the police on June 23, admitted murdering the young mother the day before.

He was jailed for life by Mr Justice Richards who described the circumstances of the murder as "truly appalling".

Throughout the trial Cullen sat with his head lowered, taking his own notes of proceedings.

The court heard that after the murder Cullen carried the woman's body upstairs with the ligature still attached to her neck.

He then had sex with her dead body on three separate occasions.

Ian Sims-Rees, her brother, walked out of court holding his head in his hands as full details of the brutal murder unfolded.

Sharon Harlow, her mother, shouted "You're scum for what you did to that little girl" as Cullen was taken away.

Cullen had claimed that his victim had been effectively blackmailing him after finding photographs of him at his home dressed as a woman.

He claimed she would visit his home more often afterwards and borrow an occasional £5 which would never be returned.

He had destroyed all the photographs before going to the police, but left the crime scene untouched.

Dang, my boyfriend dissed me the other night when he said he couldn't believe I thought Monty Python was funny. I didn't think about beating him in the head with a rubber mallet. But NEXT time.....!!

Don't do that ... slap him with a fish instead.

Yes. Next time you should consider a good slap up-side the head! No one is funnier than John, Graham, Mikey, Jonsey, Eric & Terry!

LOL!

I loved Mikey's Fish Slapping Dance. Especially when John whacked his head, and his hat went flying off, and he fell in the water!

Interesting. I think if I have time today, I'll try to dig up more info on the Church-burning/Satanist link.

It says he was a "former devil worshiper". Had he recently been "saved"?

Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dream!
Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!
Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!
Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of consern for psychic vampires!
Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!
