Cameron must serve 23 years before he is eligible for parole.

“There is no explanation at all for your shocking crime.”
“I do not believe there is any real evidence of remorse on your part.”
In the days before she was murdered, Ms Goodsell told no fewer than four friends how scared she was of Cameron.
She warned friends to be careful of what they wrote to her and said she was not allowed to go anywhere without being checked on.
When asked why she was in a relationship with Cameron, she told one confidant: ”Cause I’m scared to leave.”

In the early hours of October 5, 2018, Cameron sent Ms Goodsell a message, telling her he loved her and begging to come home.
She responded: “If you love someone, you would not harm them or control them.”
At 4:56am, Ms Goodsell sent a message to a friend which said: “I’m scared of Scott”.
Prosecutors said that it was shortly after this that Cameron stabbed the 33-year-old up to 55 times as she sat in bed.
He then tried unsuccessfully to clean the murder scene with bleach before shoving her body under the bed along with the bloodstained sheets.
Cameron then tried to burn down the house by setting a fire in a bedside cabinet, but it this too was unsuccessful.
More to come.
