A builder who murdered two escorts and described himself as a “psychopath with a conscience” has been sentenced to two life terms in prison. Mark Brown was found guilty last year of murdering Leah Ware and Alexandra Morgan in 2021.
Brown, 41, was sentenced by judge Justice Nicholas Hilliard on Friday in his absence, after he refused to attend Hove Crown Court. Mr Justice Hilliard gave him two life sentences with a minimum term of 49 years, less 380 days already spent on remand, to be served concurrently.
Brown killed Ms Ware and Ms Morgan at a remote farm near St Leonards in East Sussex in May and November 2021, after meeting them through a sex work website. Brown put Ms Morgan, 34, head first into a homemade incinerator before dumping her remains.
