A man who stalked, raped and murdered an aspiring comedian was today sentenced to life in prison.

The killing of Eurydice Dixon, 22, in a Melbourne park in June last year was described by Victorian Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kaye as “depraved” and “totally and categorically evil”.

Jaymes Todd, 20, must serve a minimum of 35 years in jail before he can apply for parole.
