The man who killed 35-year-old Zara Aleena in east London last June will be sentenced at the Old Bailey today. 📲 Live coverage:
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage from the Old Bailey, where we will see Jordan McSweeney sentenced later today for the murder of law graduate Zara Aleena.
Aleena, 35, was beaten to death in the early hours of the morning of 26 June as she walked home from a night out in Ilford, east London. McSweeney - who was a stranger to Aleena - pleaded guilty to murder and sexual assault last month and he will be jailed in a few hours. The BBC’s Helena Wilkinson and Thomas Mackintosh will be bringing you live updates from the hearing at the Old Bailey throughout the day.
