The man convicted of the murder of New Zealand teenager Emily Longley has won the right to appeal.
Elliot Turner, 21, was sentenced to life in prison with a 16-year non-parole period for strangling Longley, 17, in Bournemouth, England, in May last year.
A Court of Appeal spokesperson said Turner has been granted leave to appeal his conviction and sentence, the Bournemouth Daily Echo reported.
A date for the appeal is yet to be set.
Turner will receive a full appeal hearing before three judges at the Court of Appeal in London, the Daily Echo reported.
Emily's body was found in Turner's parents' Bournemouth home on May 7 last year.
During his trial, the court heart that Turner had "bullied, harassed, threatened and assaulted" Longley during their relationship, before going "absolutely nuts" in a jealous rage on the night he killed her.
His parents Leigh, 54, and Anita, 51, were jailed for 27 months in July for perverting the course of justice, after they destroyed a confession letter from their son and took evidence from the murder scene.
