Jogger's killer gets sentence cut

The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, sitting at the Court of Appeal in London with two other judges, reduced the 23-year minimum term to be served by Garath Davies to one of 18 years.

Davies, now 24, of Mitcham, was jailed for life in January for the murder of 27-year-old Estonian Egeli Rasta. She went missing in July 2006 and her naked body lay for 12 days in a copse on Mitcham Common after she was killed.
