A violent killer who fatally smashed a school friend over the head with a scaffolding pole as a child stabbed his girlfriend to death during a drunken argument.

Mark Masefield, 53, murdered Marie Gladders with a kitchen knife at his house in Birmingham on November 12 last year, before the expiry date of an 11-and-a-half-year manslaughter sentence.
