South African gets 30 years for killing Filipina in UK

A fantasist who murdered a Filipino woman he met on a dating website in the United Kingdom was sentenced to 30 years in jail for the crime. UK-based CourtNewsUK reported Monday that Clinton Bailey, 36, "seduced" victim Leah Questin before killing her and stuffing her body in a suitcase. "Clinton Bailey, 36, seduced 37-year-old care worker Leah Questin by boasting of his high IQ and luxury lifestyle in his home country of South Africa," the site reported Monday afternoon. Earlier, the British Broadcasting Co. (BBC) reported the suspect was arrested in the UK for the murder of Questin, whose body was found in a suitcase in a dried-up pond on farmland in Kent. Questin was a care worker from London, but originally from the Philippines. She had been reported as a missing person on September 12 last year. That day she was seen on closed-circuit television traveling through London. Questin was believed to have been dead for at least two weeks before the suitcase was found by a dog walker. - RJAB Jr/KBK, GMANews.TV
