Murder of Jennifer Mills-Westley

Who is Murder of Jennifer Mills-Westley?

Jennifer Joan Mills-Westley was murdered on 13 May 2011 in Tenerife.

Her death in a supermarket in the resort of Los Cristianos gained widespread publicity in the United Kingdom, where she was from, and around the world, for the horrific nature of the apparently random attack by a homeless man, who stabbed Mills-Westley in the neck several times and then beheaded her, carrying her severed head out into the street.

Deyan Deyanov, a Bulgarian man, was convicted on 22 February 2013 of the murder and subsequently sentenced to detention in a psychiatric unit for 20 years.
