A woman who murdered and decapitated her friend before putting her in a suitcase and dumping the body has been sentenced to life in jail.
Jemma Mitchell will serve at least 34 years for killing 67-year-old Mee Kuen Chong at her London home in June 2021.
Aggravating factors included that the killing was carried out for gain, and the manner in which she treated Ms Chong’s body, the judge said.
“I am driven to the conclusion that you are extremely devious,” he added.
On Friday, Judge Richard Marks KC was broadcast handing down his sentence to the 38-year-old at the Old Bailey.
Mitchell became the first murderer and the first woman to be sentenced on television in England and Wales, after rules were changed to allow cameras into courtrooms.
