"Victoria Adams, 37, was found dead at her Hammersmith flat on 9 February after police were called to a report of a man attempting to break into a property in Coulter Road. Apapale Adoum, 39, who was arrested at the scene, had met her on 6 February when he was living in a homeless shelter. Ms Adams was found face down in a bedroom with a bin bag over her head which was covered by a pillow."
"She had suffered at least 10 injuries to the back and side of her head from being struck with a blunt object, said to be a mallet found with her blood and DNA on it. She had invited Adoum to stay with her but later wrote a note to ask him to leave. At the Old Bailey, Judge Nigel Lickley KC told the defendant: "The sentence for murder is a life sentence and that is what I will pass on October 24.""
