19 years for Briton who murdered ex-girlfriend A BRITISH man was sentenced to 19 years for stabbing his ex-girlfriend to
death in his Orihuela home. The Alicante Court discredited the convict’s
argument that drugs and alcohol he consumed the day of the crime inhibited
him from stabbing the victim, an Irish woman aged 21, 47 times. He was ‘completely conscious’ of what he was doing when in a passionate state of jealousy and revenge he attacked the young woman, according to the court. The court also took into account the murderer’s actions after killing his exgirlfriend. Upon dismembering the victim’s body and unsuccessfully trying to fit it into a suitcase, the man wrapped the cadaver in plastic and hid it under the sofa. He then burnt his clothes and the victim’s belongings.
BIG WINNERS: The dancers from ‘Flamenco for All’.
