"Sam Pybus, who is married, was jailed for four years and eight months in September after he confessed to the manslaughter of mother-of-two Sophie Moss.

Lawyers representing the Attorney General's Office later argued that he should serve a longer sentence and asked three judges to consider the case in the Court of Appeal.

But, the Court of Appeal has declined to increase the sentence of Pybus, finding his sentence was not "unduly lenient".

Pybus, now aged 32, was drunk when he applied pressure to Ms Moss' neck for tens of seconds or even minutes at her flat in Darlington, County Durham, in February, Teeside Crown Court heard.

He woke up and found Ms Moss naked and unresponsive but did not dial 999, waiting in his car for 15 minutes before driving to a police station to raise the alarm, the court heard.

A post-mortem examination revealed he had applied enough pressure to her neck for long enough to kill. There was no evidence of any other injuries or violence.

Pybus, of Water View, Middleton St George, Darlington, told police he and Ms Moss had been in a casual relationship for three years, and that she encouraged him to strangle her during consensual sex."

The problem is, the woman is dead and not able to tell her side of the story.

Three judges thought that 4 years and 8 months is a fair sentence for strangling a woman to death.

He says she agreed to be strangled whist having sex, no one else can confirm that. It's just as likely he strangled her in rage not passion, but either way, he used such prolonged force, he killed her.

Pathetic sentence imo.

Yeah I’m pretty sure she didn’t intend to be killed. Rolling Eyes

Also, at what point did he not realise that he’d been strangling her far too long and far too hard?

Apparently he fell asleep and only realised he had killed her when he woke up.
He then left her flat, sat in his car for 15 minutes, then drove to a police station to raise the alarm.

Labours Harriet Harmen said, and I think she is spot on...

"This sentence fails to reflect the gravity of the crime, the impact of her death on her family including her two young children, his sole culpability for her death, his cynical shifting of the responsibility from himself to her and sends out the message that killing your girlfriend during sex is a minor matter."

So he fell asleep straight after sex? Didn’t even look at her??

If it doesn’t sound true, it probably isn’t.

I mean, a lot of men fall asleep after sex, but if you have just throttled your girlfriend, the least you can do is check she is still breathing before you nod off. Rolling Eyes
