Chilling CCTV footage shows a "controlling" man strolling around a town centre - minutes after he had murdered his teen girlfriend at a train station.

Jason Flore can be seen casually walking around Crawley and trying to board a bus with his dog while the fresh blood stains of his dead partner, 19-year-old Stephanie Marie, are visible on his trousers.

The 26-year-old was yesterday (Weds) convicted of killing "much loved" Stephanie in a car park at the West Sussex town's train station last summer.

04:26What's er, what is it?
04:28Murder mate, attempt murder.
04:30Ok, at this time mate, you are under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder.
04:35Ok, put your arm into the small of your back for me.
04:37You don't have to say anything, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which relates to a line in court.
04:42Anything you do say may be given in evidence, do you understand that?
04:45Ok, the reason for your arrest is to prevent any loss of evidence and prevent your disappearance, ok?
04:52You fully understand, yeah?
04:56Stephanie was a young woman with her whole life ahead of her to enjoy,
05:00but that's been stolen away by a controlling, coercive partner.
05:04She was a much loved daughter, sister and mother,
05:08who enjoyed sports, music, especially playing guitar,
05:11and had ambitions of becoming a hairdresser.
05:14This outcome is the result of countless hours of investigation,
05:18and I thank everyone who has contributed to ensuring Stephanie's killer
05:22has been held accountable for what he did on that day.
05:26It is important that we remember her name today, and not his.
05:31While today's verdict will never replace the tragic loss felt by those who love Stephanie,
05:37it has ensured that justice has been served,
05:40and I hope this outcome helps you find some peace after such a devastating loss.
