A university athlete who murdered his girlfriend in a jealous rage has been sentenced to 26 years in jail in a case which shone a spotlight on the drinking culture on campuses across America.
George Huguely V was found guilty of the second degree murder of Yeardley Love following an all-day drinking spree in which he consumed more than 20 units of alcohol.
The 22-year-old lacrosse player was just two weeks from graduating when her on-off boyfriend kicked in her bedroom door and shook her violently, leaving her bleeding into her pillow.
She was found by her roommate hours later in a pool of blood at the apartment they shared near the campus of the University of Virginia.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
