A double murderer is due to be sentenced for killing a woman and dumping her dismembered body in a park.
Steve Sansom was out on life licence when he killed Sarah Mayhew, 38, and dumped her remains in Rowdown Fields, New Addington, south London, last spring.
The 45-year-old and his partner Gemma Watts, 49, have admitted murder and perverting the course of justice by dismembering Ms Mayhew’s body, distributing the parts at “various locations” and cleaning up the scene.
On Thursday, Sansom, from Sutton, south-west London, and Watts, from New Addington, will appear at the Old Bailey to be sentenced by Mrs Justice Cutts.
