The mother of a killer jailed for life for murdering her vulnerable friend and dumping her headless body has insisted she is innocent.
Jemma Mitchell, 38, was today sentenced to serve at least 34 years in prison for the ‘profoundly shocking’ murder of Mee Kuen Chong, 67, known as Deborah.
Her motive was a simple one – money, and lots of it. She forged a will for Ms Chong in a bid to inherit her £700,000 estate.
The Old Bailey heard how the trained osteopath struck the victim over the head, fracturing her skull, at her home in Wembley, north-west London.
The expert in human dissection then decapitated the victim before storing her body in the garden of the Willesden home she shared with her mother.
