A man has been jailed for life for the murder of Irishwoman Jill Meagher in Melbourne, Australia, Sky News reports.<\/p>\n
Adrian Ernest Bayley, who had pleaded guilty to raping and murdering the 29-year-old on September 22 last year, was told he will not be able to apply for parole for at least 35 years.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old was sentenced to life imprisonment for the killing, plus 15 years for the rape.<\/p>\n
Victorian Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Nettle told Bayley: “The nature and gravity of your offending and its antecedence ensure that nothing but life imprisonment will suffice.<\/p>\n
“It was a savage, violent rape of the worst kind. Your killing of the deceased ranks among the worst kind conceivable.<\/p>\n
“I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt you pose a risk to the sexual safety of the community.”<\/p>\n
Justice Nettle said Bayley would not have received a minimum term if he had not pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n
Ms Meagher was attacked as she walked back to her flat after having drinks with colleagues from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.<\/p>\n
Bayley dragged her into an alleyway before raping and murdering her.<\/p>\n
