"Today's conviction will not return a mother to her children, and it will not take away the pain felt by this family. I hope however that it serves as a starting point for their recovery. They have shown incredible strength in the most difficult of times. Anna Maria was a victim of domestic violence in a toxic relationship, which has sadly resulted in her death."
"It is our hope that anyone else suffering such violence may consider reaching out and asking for help when they hear of Anna Maria's story. I wish to take this opportunity to praise both the efforts made by the first responders to save Anna Maria's life and the tireless work of the investigating officers and prosecution team to achieve justice on her behalf."

Nica was arrested at the property, charged with murder on March 1 and found guilty by a jury at Southwark Crown Court.
