A man who stalked his ex 130 miles before trying to behead her has been jailed for life after murdering her.

Dennis Akpomedaye, 30, was given a mimimum term of 29 years for the murder of 21-year-old Polish student Anna Jedrkowiak, known as Ania, in Ealing, west London in May last year.

Judge Rajeev Shetty, sentencing at Kingston Crown Court, said the attack was ‘ferocious and savage.’

He added: ‘There is no mitigation here, there is no evidence of a mental disorder or disability.’
