Killer of ex-wife's aunt sentenced to life behind bars
Judge hands down maximum sentence to man who killed his ex-wife’s aunt, a 64-year-old British tourist, and hid her body under a sofa

A "highly dangerous" man who brutally killed his ex-wife's aunt - a retired British Salvation Army major - on Lamma Island two years ago was jailed for life yesterday.
Ahmed Fareed, 31, was sentenced in the Court of First Instance for committing what Mr Justice Michael Stuart-Moore said was the "ultimate crime" of murdering 64-year-old Janet Gilson in March 2011, in his ex-wife's home.
Fareed killed Gilson, who was from Essex, while she was on holiday in Hong Kong, visiting her niece, Julia, and her young daughter, now five. Her body was hidden under a sofa and discovered by police four days after she was reported missing, the court heard earlier.
Julia, Fareed's ex-wife, warned anyone in a violent relationship to get away from their abusive partners, as she reflected on giving her ex-husband too many second chances.
In passing sentence, the judge said: "This was a most brutal killing of a woman aged 64 who had done no harm to the defendant.
"I have not doubt he is highly dangerous," he said of the Maldives resident.
The judge said Fareed's motive for killing Gilson was unknown. The court heard Fareed had been barred by a court order from entering his ex-wife's home and had a very bad temper.
