The man serving a life sentence for the murder of Joanna Yeates in 2010 has been found guilty of a string of sex offences after police found more than 100 images of child pornography on his laptop . Vincent Tabak was jailed in 2011 after strangling Miss Yeates and dumping her body in the snow on the outskirts of Bristol . Police seized his laptop as part of the investigation into her death and found 145 indecent images of children stored on it . Before admitting to possessing the child pornography , Tabak , 37 , protested he would not receive a fair trial because his previous crime was so high profile . Guilty plea : Joanna Yeates 's killer Vincent Tabak had admitted four counts of posessing child pornography after images were found on a laptop . He was jailed in 2011 after strangling the 25-year-old and dumping her body in snow . A judge rejected his argument , jailing him for 10 months at Bristol Crown Court , where he was found guilt of murder four years ago . The court heard how the paedophile had stored more than 100 images of children on the computer , with the youngest among them of younger than 10 . Flanked by security guards , he held his head in his hands in the dock as the court heard how he had a 'perverse interest in child pornography . ' In 2011 , at the same court house , Tabak was convicted of killing 25-year-old Joanna Yeates after becoming obsessed with her . The 25-year-old 's body was found covered in snow on the outskirts of Bristol . The pair were neighbours , with Miss Yeates living in the groundfloor flat next door to his where , jurors were told , he had watched violent pornography . After spurning his advances Miss Yeates was killed and dumped by the side of the road in Failand on the outskirts of the city . The jury heard how in the months before Jo ’ s death Tabak had viewed violent porn websites showing women being controlled by men , with images of them bound , gagged and held by the neck and choked . Others showed a woman who looked chillingly like his victim . Miss Yeates 's frozen body - which had suffered 43 separate injuries - was found in a similar position to a woman in one pornographic film . In 2013 , the Crown Prosecution Service announced they would pursue charges relating to child pornography . His guilty plea today came after a failed attempt by his legal team to have the case thrown out . They claimed he would not face a fair trial in and that he would not be given an additional prison sentence . Dean Armstrong QC , on behalf of Tabak , argued his portrayal in the ITV drama The Lost Honour Of Christopher Jefferies , who was wrongly accused of Miss Yeates 's murder , would prevent fairness . Judge Neil Ford QC rejected the argument after telling the court it was not his position to comment on the CPS decision to prosecute . He also discounted the argument that putting Tabak on the Sex Offenders ' Register would be pointless as it would have lapsed by the time of his release . Speaking after the sentencing , temporary assistant chief constable Julian Moss of Avon and Somerset Police said prosecution had been 'crucial ' . Tabak 's legal team argued he would not face a fair trial over the child pornography charges because of his portrayal in an ITV drama about Christopher Jefferies ( right ) who was wrongly accused of the murder and later successfully sued national newspapers for libel . Following his arrest for the murder of Joanna Yeares , Tabak 's former girlfriend told police of his haul of pornography . 'Vincent Tabak is a dangerous , calculating and manipulative offender who is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Joanna Yeates . 'During the course of the investigation into Joanna 's murder , indecent images of children were found on Tabak 's laptop . These offences did not form part of the initial murder trial . 'Although he 's serving a minimum tariff of 20 years ' imprisonment , we felt it was crucial Tabak was brought to justice for possessing indecent images of children , so the full nature of Tabak 's offending is on record . ' Mr Moss said the conviction meant an 'extensive range ' of protective measure could be put in place to manage his behaviour and protect those at risk . 'It 's possible he may return to the Netherlands following release , so it 's crucial the Dutch authorities are aware of the risks he poses , ' Mr Moss added . 'This could only have been guaranteed if a relevant conviction relating to a sexual interest in children were secured . 'Joanna 's murder was a shocking and terrible crime which had a significant impact on the whole of the Bristol community and I hope this latest conviction will ensure her killer is unable to cause any further harm . ' Tributes left on the rural lane where Miss Yeates 's body was discovered by walkers on Christmas morning in 2010 . Tabak appeared again in Bristol Crown Court ( above ) where he was found guilty of murder in 2011 .
