Man admits killing his girlfriend

11:04am Sunday 6th July 2008

A PARANOID schizophrenic from Corsham has admitted the manslaughter of his pregnant girlfriend - more than a decade after killing her.

Richard Gray, now 50, was deemed unfit for trial after he strangled Virginia Sivil, 26, shortly before she gave birth to their third child in 1998.

Miss Sivil was in the first stages of labour when she died outside her home in Foxhill, Bath. Her unborn child was also killed.

Gray, who has spent 10 years in high-security Broadmoor Hospital, apologised to the family of Miss Sivil after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
