The Court of Appeal has rejected a bid to increase the prison term of a man who murdered his girlfriend.
Ross McCullam was jailed for life for the murder of Megan Newborough, 23, and told he would serve at least 23 years before parole could be considered.
The 30-year-old killed Ms Newborough at his home in Coalville, Leicestershire, on 6 August 2021.
Judges turned down the solicitor general's appeal to increase the minimum term on Tuesday.
Megan Newborough's parents say there is a "huge disparity" in sentencing guidelines.

The parents of a woman who was murdered by her boyfriend are calling for tougher sentences for abusers.
Megan Newborough, 23, was attacked and strangled by Ross McCullam at his Leicestershire home on 6 August 2021.
The 30-year-old was jailed for at least 23 years in December, which Anthony and Elaine Newborough felt was lenient for a partner murdered at home.
The couple claim there is a "huge disparity" in sentencing guidelines and want the law to be changed.
