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.
