A man has been jailed for the murder of Sabrina Cooper, the daughter of comedian Tommy Cooper. Tony King, 60, of Cornfield Terrace, Eastbourne, will serve a minimum of 22 years and 182 days in prison for the murder.
Ms Cooper ran a magic shop until 2017 and was in the process of selling her shop when her daughter found her dead at her home in Eastbourne, in Sussex, in December 2022. Her family initially believed she had fallen down the stairs and reopened wounds from a recent cancer operation.
But a police investigation found she had been stabbed five times in the abdomen and chest. King was arrested after text messages revealed he had organised to help Ms Cooper move boxes for her impending move.
