KILLER Geoffrey Porter has been jailed for life for the murder of teenage Bolton vice girl Carly Bateman.
Porter, aged 40, of Columbia Road, Bolton, strangled the 17-year-old to death before hiding her body beneath undergrowth in a back alleyway on the outskirts of Bolton's red light area.
The father of two had denied killing the teenager.
The jury at Manchester Crown Court found Porter guilty after seven hours of deliberation following a two-week long hearing.
