Fractured ribs, broken neck: UK welder kills ex for having sex with another man

Autopsy of the victim revealed that she was left with fractured ribs, broken neck, damaged heart, brain and also sustained liver injuries.

Pembrokeshire, Wales: A welder has been arrested for brutally beating his ex-girlfriend to death after she confessed about sleeping with another man.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the accused identified as Luke Jones, murdered his lover, Natasha Bradbury, in a fit of rage after he discovered about her infidelity.

The incident took place at the victim's apartment in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire in Wales.

The matter came to light when Jones called 999 requesting for an ambulance for his ex-girlfriend. The victim was brought to the hospital but was declared dead soon. The doctors informed the police about the case, leading to the arrest of the accused. However, he pleaded not guilty to the murder.

While the case is under trial at the Swansea Crown Court, the judge heard that the accused had hit the victim so hard that she began bleeding.

During investigation, investigators found blood stains all over the crime scene -- on the sink, walls and the floor.

Autopsy of the victim revealed that she was left with fractured ribs, broken neck, damaged heart, brain and liver.

Prosecutors told the court that the couple had been in an on and off relationship since three years. The court also came across a string of WhatsApp messages between Jones and the victim that led them to the motive of the murder.

During investigation, it emerged that Jones had sent a number of messages to the victim, to which she never replied. However, she sent a WhatsApp message to Jones after a long time. It read, "Look, I'm sorry, I've slept with someone last night."

The court was told that the last message from the victim to her boyfriend made him furious, leading to the crime.

The case is still undergoing a trial and is scheduled for the next hearing.
