A teenager obsessed with TV serial killer Dexter was jailed today for the murder of his 17-year-old girlfriend, who he ferociously stabbed before dismembering her body in a "blood-curdling" killing. Steven Miles, who was 16 at the time of the murder, killed Elizabeth Thomas in the bedroom of his home in Oxted, Surrey on January 24 this year. Having stabbed her in the head and back, he went on to dismember her legs and an arm, wrapped the limbs in clingfilm and placed them in bin bags, before covering her body in a green plastic garden sheet. Miles, now 17, has been jailed for 25 years.
