The jury has returned a verdict in a shocking London murder trial. The defendant, Clifton George, 45, was accused of killing his girlfriend, Annabel Rook, 46, and then blowing up her house in a gas explosion.
He pleaded not guilty to murder by reason of a temporary “loss of self-control”. Now, after four weeks of deliberations, a jury found him guilty of murder, with sentencing scheduled for June 9, 2026.
