A builder who described himself as a ‘psychopath with a conscience’ has been found guilty of murdering two escorts six months apart.

Mark Brown killed Leah Ware and Alexandra Morgan at a remote farm near St Leonards in East Sussex.

He met both women through a sex work website, a jury at Hove Crown Court was told.

Brown put 34-year-old Ms Morgan head-first into a home-made incinerator before dumping her remains.

She had last been seen at a petrol station in Cranbrook, Kent, on November 14, 2021.

The body of 33-year-old Ms Ware has never been found, but the prosecution believe he used a similar method to dispose of her remains.

He is believed to have also killed her Pomeranian dog, Lady.

Today, a jury of 10 men and two women took 10-and-a-half hours to convict Brown of both murder charges.
