Anthony Stinson attacked Charlotte Wilcock at her home despite having never met her before, police say.
Charlotte Wilcock's mother told the court her daughter's murder happened "in the very place she should have felt safe"
Lancashire Police said Stinson, of Blackburn, said Stinson changed his clothing and buried her phone after the attack, before walking across the town and using a passer-by's phone to call 999. His attack on Ms Wilcock left her with about 100 injuries, including numerous wounds to her hands from where she tried to defend herself.
She said the murder was the "sort of thing you see in TV and films", had happened "in the very place she should have felt safe" and was not "something you ever imagine".
