The man who lured, raped and murdered outback nurse Gayle Woodford has lost his bid to have his jail sentence reduced. Dudley Davey was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 32 years for murdering and raping Ms Woodford and stealing her ambulance in South Australia’s APY Lands in March last year. The sentencing judge said it was a cold-blooded murder of a woman who worked with skill and compassion in the community. Davey lodged an appeal against his sentence arguing it was manifestly excessive and he should have been given a greater discount for his guilty pleas. The timing of Davey’s pleas entitled him to a potential discount of up to 30 per cent under South Australian legislation.

Two days before her death, the former school teacher was taken to Modbury Hospital by ambulance after complaining of pain near her bladder catheter.
