A man who raped and murdered his ex-fiancee at a luxury hotel in Surrey has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years, as the woman’s family branded him an “evil, controlling, manipulative predator”.
The body of Samantha Mickleburgh, 54, described by her loved ones as their “champagne girl” who lit up every room she walked in, was found at the five-star Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot on April 14 last year.
