A man and a woman have been jailed for murder after detectives pieced together evidence to prove they murdered Sarah Mayhew, then dismembered her and dumped her body over several trips, in plain sight of the public. Steve Samson, 45, and his partner Gemma Watts, 49, were sentenced to life imprisonment at the Old Bailey on Thursday, for the murder of Sarah Mayhew, with Samson to serve a whole life order and Watts a minimum of 30 years' imprisonment.
In one exchange, Samson mentioned inviting Sarah to his house, to which Watts responded, “Only if it’s a deal she ain’t leaving in one piece,” to which Samson agreed, saying, “Okay.”Further messages suggested a sexual and sadistic motive for the murder. Two days later, Samson was captured on CCTV purchasing a hacksaw, blades, and a bucket, while Watts was seen buying multiple cleaning products, including bleach and scourers.
