A man who brutally murdered a woman 30 years ago is facing a life sentence after Met scientists used new DNA techniques on a single hair left at the scene to prove he was the killer.
The innovative work on a hair found on a ring worn by Marina Koppel, stabbed at least 140 times at her Westminster flat in 1994, has finally brought to justice Sandip Patel.
Patel, 51, of Finchley Road, NW8 was found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey yesterday. After all this time he genuinely believed he had;
“Got away with murder.”
He appears for sentencing at the same court on Friday, 16 February.
