A man who murdered his girlfriend's housemate and dismembered her body must serve a minimum of 37 years in jail.
Clive Sharp, 46, of Gwynedd, has admitted killing Irish vet Catherine Gowing, 37, and was sentenced to life at Mold Crown Court in Flintshire.
His DNA was found on some of her remains found at a quarry and on the banks of the River Dee.
The judge Mr Justice Griffith-Williams told Sharp: "You are on any view a very serious danger to women."
"What happened in that period of nearly four hours is known only to you," he added.
The court heard Sharp was a danger to women and was fulfilling "a longstanding fantasy of imprisoning, raping and murdering a woman".
It was something he had revealed while on a treatment programme for sex offenders in the 1990s.
Sharp had a history of violent offences against women, including rape, the court heard.
Passing sentence, the judge told Sharp: "This is a horrific, cold hearted murder, carried out to gratify your perverted sexual desires."
Just hours before the murder, he left another woman tied to a bed after she refused to take part in perverted sexual acts, the court heard.
Ms Gowing disappeared from her home in New Brighton, Flintshire, last October.
Mold Crown Court heard how Sharp broke into her home in the middle of the night, tied her up and raped her.
The following day, he bought equipment including bleach, petrol and a hacksaw.
The judge said she was subjected to various forms of sexual abuse, as well as rape.
He dismembered her body and dumped body parts at various locations.
The judge had already warned Sharp at a previous hearing that he would receive a life sentence for the murder.
But he had adjourned sentencing to consider whether there would be a minimum tariff that must be served before Sharp could be considered for parole.
Passing sentence on Monday, Mr Justice Griffith-Williams said that he would have imposed a minimum term of 42 years but for the fact that Sharp had pleaded guilty.
But he stressed it was a minimum term, and said Sharp would only be released when he was no longer considered a danger to women which "may never be so".
Ms Gowing was described as a "very dear and gentle person" by those she worked with for 18 months at a veterinary surgery in Mold.
She was last seen alive on the evening of Friday, 12 October, 2012, when she was spotted on CCTV leaving a supermarket in Queensferry.
Her burned-out Renault Clio was found near a disused quarry near her home in New Brighton, near Mold, a week later.
DNA testingTeams of 40 specially trained police officers and underwater divers spent nearly three weeks searching for her, before the first human remains were uncovered at a shallow pond in Sealand.
The location was close to where Sharp had once lived with his mother. Two days later, more remains were found at the River Dee in Higher Ferry, Chester.
DNA testing revealed that the remains belonged to Ms Gowing.
Despite the largest search in North Wales Police history, the force says it has been unable to recover all of her remains, with Sharp failing to provide any information ahead of his conviction.
More than 300 people attended a funeral for her in Kinnitty, County Offaly, in January.
Ms Gowing's sister Emma told mourners she was "the closest person to perfection that I had the privilege to know and love".
Members of Ms Gowing's family were at court for the sentencing.
