James Cartwright

Murder and Rape *

Sentence

Life imprisonment (to be determined)

James Cartwright murdered and raped his ex-partner, Samantha Mickleburgh, at Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot on April 14, 2024. He had a history of obsessive behaviour, including uninvited visits, mowing her lawn, and bombarding her with calls and messages after their relationship ended. Despite having another girlfriend, his possessiveness led to the attack, where Samantha sustained a fractured skull and signs of strangulation. She had agreed to stay with him as a final kindness on his birthday.

Found guilty of murder and rape; acquitted of controlling or coercive behaviour. The judge will determine the exact sentence, considering his history of obsessive behaviour and lack of remorse.
