The man who lured, raped and murdered outback nurse Gayle Woodford has told an Adelaide court he should have received a greater reduction to his sentence because of his early guilty pleas. Ms Woodford’s body was found in a shallow grave near the remote community of Fregon in South Australia’s APY Lands in March last year. The Supreme Court heard she had been lured from her bed, likely responding to a call for help, and was quickly overpowered. Her killer, 35-year-old Dudley Davey, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 32 years.
