Martin Bell, 45, said God told him to kill 23-year-old Gemma Simpson when she was at his flat in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, 14 years ago in May 2000. Today, Judge Peter Collier QC said Bell's prison term was limited by the laws at the time and the fact Bell pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
