An osteopath who decapitated a friend she met at a church group has been jailed for life in the first televised murder sentencing.
Jemma Mitchell, 38, carried out the ‘truly despicable crime’ against Mee Kuen Chong when the 67-year-old refused to hand over £200,000 to pay for repairs to her £4 million dilapidated family home.
The self-styled healer, who boasted of her award-winning skill in human dissection, murdered the devout Christian to inherit the bulk of her estate – worth more than £700,000 – by faking her will.
Jurors were told she hit Ms Chong over the head with a weapon at her London home in June last year. Two weeks later, she drove more than 200 miles to the seaside town of Salcombe in Devon where she left the vulnerable divorcee’s decapitated and badly decomposed body in woods.
