David Browning jailed for minimum of 28 years after stabbing Jillian Howell in Brighton last yearMan jailed after killing boss and writing 'bully' on her foreheadA university worker has been jailed for a minimum of 28 years after stabbing his boss to death and scrawling “bully” across her forehead. Police found the Samaritans volunteer at her Brighton home on 26 October with 15 stab and slash wounds. Browning claimed he and Howell clashed when they started working together in 2015 but later became friends. In the months before Howell’s death, Browning applied for a firearms licence, bought a shotgun and knife, hired a van, deleted swaths of messages and data on his phone and took a change of clothes to the crime scene. Graham Trembath QC, defending, said Browning showed no mercy in the inexcusable killing but asked for there to be “some light at theend of the tunnel”.
