A man has admitted murdering and decapitating his girlfriend before texting her mum pretending to be her in a bid to cover up his crime.
Ewan Methven, 27, killed Phoenix Spencer-Horn, 21, at the home they shared after the couple ordered a takeaway to their flat in East Kilbride’s Glen Lee, South Lanarkshire, on 16 November 2024.
The High Court in Glasgow heard how Methven, who worked as a postman for Royal Mail, had complained earlier that day his partner’s waitress shifts made him “lonely”.
The couple were said to have been together for two years and met at a family party. (Skynews)
