Tributes to young mum stabbed more than 100 times with screwdriver in horror attack
Mckyla Taylor was found in the bedroom of a flat in the early hours of August 16, 2022. She was discovered to have suffered 199 separate injuries to her head and body.
Jackson, who police said was a drug user, remained silent throughout police interviews but was charged with murder two days later after detectives worked to build a case against him. At Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday, Jackson was jailed for life - of which a minimum of 17 years will be spent behind bars.
When officers forced entry to the flat, they found Mckyla’s body lying under a duvet on the floor, with weights and push bikes placed on top of it. Mckyla was pronounced dead at around 2.30am by paramedics and a post-mortem investigation later revealed the extent of the injuries she had suffered. Top news stories today “The attack Jackson inflicted on Mckyla was relentless, causing catastrophic injuries which ultimately led to her death. He has taken away a loving and caring mum, daughter, sister, and friend.
"Mckyla had a smile that would light up the room and a contagious laugh. She was just a fun-loving girl. I still remember the weekend she was killed as if it was yesterday. We had a lovely weekend sunbathing, listening to music and doing our nails and then she left and that was the last time I saw her."
