Azam Mangori killed Lorraine Cox, 32, in his room above an Exeter kebab shop in September last year, Exeter Crown Court found, with suffocation a potential cause of death. Prosecutors said she had been drunk at the time, and had engaged in a “sexual encounter” with Mangori in an alleyway before they went back to his flat above the Bodrum Kebab House. “You will no doubt want to consider whether it was this interest that may have motivated him to commit this murder.” Mangori purchased items to dispose of Ms Cox’s body over a number of days, including a trowel after viewing a web page entitled: “How to dig a grave by hand.” A pathologist was unable to determine the precise cause of Ms Cox’s death due to the length of time between her murder and remains being found.
