The 58-year-old is already serving two life sentences with a minimum of 25 years for the murders of two sex workers, and had been due to become eligible for parole in 2025.

But he was handed another life sentence, with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months, after a judge said he inflicted “extreme” violence on his victim in a “campaign of attacks”.

In an impact statement read out by prosecutor Ben Lawrence, Kyte’s victim said he still suffers from depression and anxiety, with anti-depressants impacting his ability to have children of his own, and he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

He said: “I grew up feeling scared and vulnerable.
