Deng Chol Majek followed Rhiannon Whyte from Walsall’s Park Inn Hotel to the deserted Bescot Stadium railway station, where he launched a vicious attack which saw her stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver. The 27-year-old mother, who leaves behind a five-year-old son, suffered a fatal brain stem injury and died in hospital three days later. Passing sentence at Coventry Crown Court, Mr Justice Soole told Majek: “The evidence against you, in particular CCTV and DNA, was overwhelming. “Although nothing can bring Rhiannon back, I hope these convictions provide some sense of justice to her family and friends.
