Forensic science student Benjamin William Day, 20, has pleaded guilty to murdering 24-year-old Maria Saceanu after luring her to a rented room in the West Midlands that he had prepared with plastic sheeting for the attack.
Day, who was 19 when Saceanu was killed in December 2025, changed his plea during the second day of his trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Tuesday, 6 October. Prosecutors said he had spent hours preparing the room in Tividale before the murder.
