The man who killed his partner and covered it up, claiming she had run away, will spend at least 11 years behind bars.

Cory Jefferies, 26, was found guilty at a trial in the High Court in Hamilton in July of murdering 42-year old Kim Richmond in July 2016.

Her body was found in her vehicle submerged in Lake Arapuni - not far from her South Waikato home - in June last year, 10 months after she was killed.

Jefferies had admitted her manslaughter but denied murder.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment with non parole period of 11 years by Justice Fitzgerald in the High Court in Hamilton a short time ago.
