Georgia Williams Murder Suspect Jamie Reynolds Pleads Guilty

A man accused of killing Shropshire teenager Georgia Williams has pleaded guilty to her murder.

Jamie Reynolds, 23, admitted killing the 17-year-old and dumping her body in woodland near Wrexham in May. He then fled to Scotland which triggered a UK-wide manhunt, before police eventually arrested him at a budget hotel in Glasgow.

Appearing at Stafford Crown Court, Reynolds kept his head bowed in the dock after entering his plea at a hearing attended by Georgia's parents, on day one of a trial which had been expected to last three weeks.

Georgia knew her killer from their home village of Wellington in Shropshire. Reynolds killed her after inviting her to pose in a photo-shoot.

According to reports, Reynolds had made romantic advances to her on social media websites including Facebook, but had been rebuffed.

The judge warned Reynolds he could face a whole life tariff for the crime, adding that details of "extreme" evidence of the killing would never be made public because it would cause the public "untold distress."

Williams was a cadet in the Royal Air Force and dreamed of becoming a paramedic in the RAF.
