She was found the following morning by a relative.

Following the killing of Ms Patel, Donnelly fled the property to a house in west London where he attacked another woman when she refused his advances.

Donnelly was told he would serve a minimum of 23 years. Donnelly was also given an 18-month sentence for the assault on the other woman, to run concurrently with the life term.
